Ordinarily I would say no, because the only effect is to get the port working on -CURRENT, *but* I've heard that the same kernel kludge removal might be coming to 6.2-STABLE for compatibility with the Wine port. It might be helpful if 6.2-STABLE users automagically get pm3-base upgraded before the kernel change breaks cvsup.
