When you say HEAD, do you mean the HEAD of 8-CURRENT or 7-STABLE?  In
either case whether or not it works depends on whether something has
changed in the kernel that has a required userland change.

On the other hand, if you mean 7-STABLE, then the ports should work
properly whether userland does or not.
