Yes. There is also a plan to add some "versioning" mechanism to have
the bsd.port.mk in the tree automatically check the existence of an
upgrade kit or a reasonably close "make world" so the rest of the
/usr/src dependencies can be automatically handled too, but that's
only just a plan so far.

Huum. I deliberately merged that change after the announcement since
I didn't introduce any breakage in the final snapshot, although I
wanted to give a chance to people who would try to follow
ports-current anyway.
But you are right, I probably outsmarted myself. Hmm, how can I fix
this. What do people think of something like:
===
PORTSDIR?= /usr/ports
.if exists(${PORTSDIR}/Mk/bsd.port.mk)
.include "${PORTSDIR}/Mk/bsd.port.mk"
.else
:
rest of original bsd.port.mk
:
.endif
===
as a final version of bsd.port.mk in 2.2-stable?
