Absolutely it is. I think what I'd do if I were in your shoes is do the 7.2 xorg upgrade and then portupgrade -aR to get everything else in place including the new firefox. nb., a -aR on my 2.8ghz w/ consumer SATA drives takes 36 hours including openoffice, about 28 hours without openoffice. Firefox 2.0 feels snappier but I've never benchmarked it, worth trying though?
