The 2.1.5 ports collection is specific to FreeBSD 2.1.5 already, because of features that were added to the base source tree and the ports system since 2.1.0 days. With the progression towards 2.2, ports fit naturally into a 2.2 system. Someone who wants to run a 2.2 port on a 2.1 system will either have to think again and upgrade to 2.2 or retrofit the port to the 2.1 system. That's the way it's been from the start, though some ports have not required any substantial changes between release versions. I hope that I was not too verbose, or answering the wrong question.
