No. If you don't want all that complexity you just need to wait for the next
release. They come out about once a quarter, so this shouldn't be an
enormous burden.
Besides, cvsup and buildworld are really very easy to do; just following the
"leading edge" section of the handbook and read /usr/ports/UPDATING.
I know it sounds scary but it's really very smooth (at least if you have a
fast internet connection--I imagine it's pretty tiresome on a regular phone
modem).
