As far as avoiding breaking things on older versions that you no longer
have available or newer ones you have yet to install anywhere,  remember
redports,org <https://redports.org>. I find it invaluable for testing ports
in a variety of environments. It currently supports 8.4, 9.2, 10.0, and
HEAD on amd64 and i386. https://redports.org
