ATM no, as it's apparent from the message bellow.

Update to that message:
- Gnome and KDE are ready
- Xorg is believed to be ready, an -exp run on pointy is beginning
  today.

Just a status update:

PNG and cURL are in, and png fall-outs are believed to be fixed.

Xorg update has gone through an -exp run on Pointy and our xorg team is
working on fixing the approx. 60 ports with problems.

I will begin -exp runs for Gnome and KDE updates tonight or tomorrow
morning.

Packages status:
- i386: 
  - 6 after png and curl
  - 7 after png and curl
  - an 8 incremental build is in progress and should be shortly finished

- amd64:
  - 6 packages are post png and curl
  - 7 build is in progress and will be finished tomorrow
  - 8 last build was done in the middle of the png update/fixes; we
    won't run an other before Xorg, KDE and Gnome go in (for lack of
    resources).

  - 9 build in progress (with sources that are believed to fix the zlib
    problem).

In other words, if you wish to update without waiting for Xorg, Gnome
and KDE now it's a good moment.
