I updated to 2.24 two days ago. In spite of a silly mistake on my part 
Gnome is up and running well (snappier than 2.22).

The mistake (in case it is relevant) - getting distracted at a critical 
moment I missed the 'pkg_deinstall -fO gtkmm-2.12\*' and only noticed  
after 'portupgrade -aOW' produced a raft of Gnome errors.... So 
deinstalled the entire gnome2 metaport and did a 'portinstall gnome2' to 
get Gnome back again. Just to be on the safe side I did the 'portupgrade 
-f gnome-session' step afterwards.

Today I noticed that I am only getting sound on 1 channel. Also opening 
up "Volume Control" from Gnome and altering either of "Volume" or "PCM" 
produces crackles of the non functioning channel, and kills susbsequent 
sound output on either channel!

System details:

OSS mixer on a VIA VT8251/8237A High Definition Audio Controller - HDA 
Codec Realtek ALC660

Lines from dmesg - I notice a warning (can't recall if it was there 
previously):
