To track or not to track

Tracking it isn't going to take a lot of space.  Although if it's a 
serious production server (as opposed to my "home" production server :-) I 
don't know if I'd install ports on it before I'd done it somewhere else 
first.

For me... I've found having a jail 'sandbox' setup is a great way to 
install ports, test, make packages, then install those packages on my 
production box.
