The current version is 6.2-Release-p5 I believe.

I read something in the Samba forum about problems updating Samba and
FreeBSD. It seems that in certain situations the only approach that is
guaranteed to work is:

1) Stopping Samba
2) Using pkg_delete to remove Samba
3) Reinstalling Samba
4) Reboot the system

If nothing else works, you might give that a try. Be sure that all
dependencies are updated as well. If you use 'portupgrade' or
'portmanager' that is relatively easy to do.
