I've been  upgrading my sources and ports
collection via cvsup for a while now.  I have a
simple question.  Are the ports tied in anyway to
the system sources?  Or are they completely
independent of one another?

For example, I cvsuped the sources and the
ports tree. Then I use portupgrade after updating
the package database to upgrade a port before I
"make world" or update my kernel.  Would this
confuse the process of rebuilding a port?  

The reason I'm asking is because I've upgraded my
sources from the 4.8_RELEASE to 4.9_RELEASE.
After reading some comments about it 4.9 on the
questions list, I've become hesitant to actually
compile it.
