I'm not quite sure what you mean by  "update /usr/ports with SVN to HEAD",
since ports does not branch, so any time you "svn up /usr/potrts", it is
updated to head. Any version of FreeBSD 8 or newer should work fine with
ports/head.  Note that some ports will need to be compiled with gcc as not
all will work with clang.

Are you having a problem updating (or checking out) head or with some of
the ports after the update?
