Relax.  Google "joke" and "jest".  But let's be clear.  You *are* compiling 
from source when you *build* from ports.  You just have some 
guidance via the ports infrastructure. :)  YMMV.  TMTOWDI.  There are 
exceptions.  Et cetera.  No need to justify your methods to the list; just do 
what works for you.
