Yes. You have to do this whenever you upgrade to a new branch of FreeBSD. The old ports will work until you start upgrading them to new versions, at which point you will end up with binaries linked to two versions of FreeBSD libraries, like libc.so.6 and libc.so.7, and this is a recipe for disaster.
