No--the 227upgrade.tgz package lets you use the -stable ports without updating
/usr/src and making world and whatnot. It's a small package, consisting only of
several bsd.port.* files. Calling it it an upgrade from 2.2.7 to 2.2-stable is
misleading; there's no upgrade, except for the bsd.port.* files.
