No, it is not advisable. I tried:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-June/177553.html

As I said two weeks ago, that failure was predictable and the few 
offenders could be found, but I had another weird problem that could 
only be solved with recompile:

For the opposite, using packages from an earlier point, compatibility is 
usually preserved, but not always, either:

Not having newer binary packages for the latest RELEASE is a shortcoming 
on FreeBSD, but you will find many references that there are simply not 
enough resources.
