ditto... after upgrading Perl to 5.8.4 and waiting 4 days for the Perl upgrade script from /usr/ports/UPGRADING to complete ( not including Open Office 1.1.1), I'm uncannily impressed that essentially nothing broke in the 442 ports in my /var/db/pkg. The uneffected competence that the FreeBSD team demonstrates beguiles me (most) everytime.
