There's a magic intersection between "need to run current" and "need
to keep stuff unbroken enough to get work done."

I have 9.0-REL and -HEAD boxes at the moment which I actually use for
development. But enough things are going wonky with kde4 for now that
getting "actual work done" is hard. Upgrading ports will become a lot
less painful with pkgng, so I hope to try and migrate to that when
it's (more) ready.

This is the unfortunate side effect of things being mostly run by
volunteers who have to work to eat. :-)
