This patch contains a few minor style nits to make the later FAQ

compile under -stable.

+ <p> If you're running a release version that lags significantly
+ behind -current or -stable, you will require a ports upgrade kit
+ from <url url="http://www.freebsd.org/ports"

+ then, someone running only on a -current box might have
+ committed a change to the port which broke it with 3.x. Please
+ submit a bug report on this with send-pr since the -current
+ ports collection is supposed to work with both the -current and
+ -stable branches.
