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). -- Brian T.
