If you do a "make installworld", you'll wipe the port, and a portupgrade will wipe out the base.. We have /usr/local/ for a reason. Having a port install the same libraries as the base is already problematic enough (look at security/heimdal), but at least the separation is manageable. -- Rick C. Petty
