You can use `pkg_create -b name_of_port-with_version` to create a binary 
backup.  If you can't get 3.2 installed, you just run pkg_add on the 
resulting tbz and you're back in business.

I do this whenever I upgrade OO, Firefox, Thunderbird, or anything other 
program I can't wait around for while I freshly compile.
