This is the least annoying problem (additionally I think we can get version X packages for e.g 6.x and version Y packages for e.g. 7.x if done correctly). :) I expect more problems for people which try to update without reading UPDATING, and I expect that there need to be some additional logic in bsd.port.mk. Plist handling and other things may be more messy. BTW: I don't like to have f7 or such in the port names, I think k26 (like kernel 2.6) or 26e (like 2.6 emulation) would be better in the long term.
