No. Ports should have more (full) "official" support for 2.2. If 
Satoshi can not build packages for both 2.2 and -current, I prefer
packages for 2.2.

It is slightly other issue, but see: I still can run binaries linked with 
libc.so.2.2 on my -current machine. But after I did 'make world' today I am 
unable to run binaries linked with libtcl75.so.1.1 (wish4.1), because:

application-specific initialization failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in 
the following directories: 
    /usr/libdata/tcl /usr/local/lib/tcl7.5 /usr/tcl7.5/library /usr/local/library
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

Is the correct answer "Install Tcl 7.5 from ports"? IMHO, something is broken 
here, and should be fixed.
