I don't try to give any indication of what is the norm. I mention two 
options, none of which would mean a switch onto the -CURRENT branch 
which was the principal concern in OP.

Further, the OP was really concerned with ports, and I do make an effort 
both to explain how stay on a particular branch and why the tagging is 
on the ports collection is not the same as the base system - hence the 
shift -RELEASE/-STABLE/-CURRENT is not a big difference.

I personally run RELENG_6_1 on my servers and RELENG_6 on my laptops, 
while using HEAD of the ports collection on both - and everything is 
quite /STABLE/ :)

I'd recommend you follow the norm that works for you, and define one if 
it has yet to be defined.

Cheers, Erik
