Is there a "stable" ports tree?

However you can sup the ports tree for a specific release.  I run ports 
using "tag=RELEASE_6_0_0".  The reason I do this is that I find it to be 
much less work.

I am a much more conservative user than many.  I really hate chasing 
down down upgrade dependencies even with the the very nice ports tools 
we have today.

If you really wanted a particular port to be updgraded, you can fetch 
just that one port and build it.  This would give you a manually 
controlled psuedo-stable.  It would be more work though.
