this is a different question than you asked before... the  
COMPAT_FREEBSD5 will allow your existing binaries to continue to  
run.  you can leave this on while you run "portupgrade -f -a" to  
recompile all your ports, then you can take it out... and remove all  
the compat libraries sitting around if you care to do so.

personally, I don't see the point of doing that. just let your ports  
naturally get replaced as they are upgraded due to version bumps and  
such.
