This of avail only if the port maintainer has done anything useful, like checking the port against a new -RELEASE or -STABLE distribution. I've not noticed as many broken ports as there are now. The major frustration is that it makes being a FreeBSD advocate that much harder. The ported apps may be "3rd party" but the ports themselves are not -- the patches and makefiles are part of the distribution. And the quality, as of 4.0-RELEASE / -STABLE is decidedly poor.
