4.0 is the "-current" branch of FreeBSD development, releases are not
taken from this branch. If you are not running -current, you can pretty
much ignore these packages for 4.0.
I'm not sure when it is decided to branch current into a new stable
branch (i.e., we get 4.0-stable and 5.0-current), but at that time we'll
get 4.0-release, 4.1-release, etc. If you really want to know, Jordan K.
Hubbard <jkh@freebsd.org> might know, but even he might not know when
4.0-stable will arrive. I suspect you don't really need to know anyway.
