Those are amd mount points; if you have another machine set up as an
NFS server, you can cd into /net/serverhostname and it will
automatically mount the remote server's shared filesystems and unmount
them when you cd out of the directory.  /hosts does the exact same
thing.  Amd is part of the base system, so is unaffected by port
upgrades.  Those directories were most likely always there; you just
never noticed them.
