Could I then run:

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/releng/[ 91 9.1] /usr/ports/

or | and

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/stable/9 /usr/ports/ ?

Since in the past several years I installed minimal fbsd and then used 
portsnap for ports, so I was not aware that -head was the only option for 
ports- is that what Lowell was pointing out?

It turns out that mergemaster would have been alright in my case, due to 
.mergemasterrc, I can not recall why this was selected, comments are 
welcomed:

# cat .mergemasterrc
FREEBSD_ID=YES
VERBOSE=YES
AUTO_INSTALL=YES
RUN_UPDATES=YES
COMP_CONFS=YES
PRESERVE_FILES_DIR=/var/tmp/mergemaster/preserved-files-`date 
+%y%m%d-%H%M%S`
DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES=YES

Kind regards,
Darrel
