Is anyone here close enough to the Xen project that they might know what the difference is or if it's safe to run 4.1.3 tools everywhere? If so, I'll get the port updated to 4.1.3.

Hi, 

What exactly you need doing?. I explain... Basically Xen-tools are used for writting to Xenstore database through Xenstored at dom0. If you execute a write and a read for the records of a concretely vm and from it (and same test from dom0 for the vm records) and changes are seen from the own vm and from dom0 with they're Xen-tools nothing should be worring at all. Apart from this they don't do nothing else... Unless nothing significant I remember now... The important part is the kernel related one.

So if you administer you're FreeBSD machine as should (update, use it properly and so...) nothing should happen if previous test indicated has succeded. Remember you can always backup you're actual Xentools with a pkg_create -Rb nameofxentoolsport before performing the upgrade.

Regards,
