Well, on my 7.1-RELEASE-p8 system, sysinstall does warn, but
subsequently asks whether I'd "like to try and use this disc anyway".
I did not try (as I already have proflibs installed) but maybe you
could, and then you could configure /etc/freebsd-update.conf to select
only the world/proflibs component, and then run freebsd-update. That
should save you from having to build from sources.
