If you want to be on the safe side, a complete rebuild is probably a
good idea -- and moreover, one that removes all ports and cleans out
${PREFIX} and ${PKG_DBDIR} before rebuilding any ports, if you can
afford the downtime. Otherwise, the new misc/compat8x port can help
ease the transition. If they aren't available on pre-release media,
default packages for certain architectures are available at:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/${ARCH}/packages-9-current/
Depending on the architecture, and when you download them, they will
have been compiled on a variety of recent versions of 9, but will
probably work on the BETAs, at least with misc/compat8x, as a stopgap
while you rebuild ports.
