Unless you need a specific version, install the latest one.  Normally,
for building ports you don't have to worry about it because the
correct version(s) will be installed automatically.  The reason we
have so many ports is that the auto* developers like to break
backwards-compatibility very frequently, so a lot of older software
cannot be configured using the latest versions.
