Seems likely.  Although the port was added in December
and tagged in both 4.10-RELEASE and HEAD at that time,
it must not have MFC'ed->RELENG_5 until after 5.2.1 was
released (in January, IIRC), therefore a CDROM ports tree
of 5.2.1 wouldn't include nvnet.

It is there now.  I don't know if it works.  Grit your teeth and
hang on!  (Seriously, I really doubt it'd be in there if there were
any serious problems at all, but YMMV....)
