Yes, that's the reason and that was what I discovered a few seconds
after fireing up 'make install' in /usr/ports/x11/kde;

to give one example: it is building KDE 3.4.2 and not 3.4.0 which was

My point was that I don't have a fast Internet link at home to fetch all
the (new) sources for the distfiles and I was looking for distfiles on
CD which match exactly the 6.0-REL ports collection requirements;
