> 1) Can I use the 3.2 packages with FreeBSD 4.0 or am I doing a stupid thing?
Kinda. We provide different versions at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/ because of there are some
library difference between 3.x and 4.0. Not to mention anything that
grubs around in the kernel.

AFAIK, you will need Rockridge extensions if you want any of the
automatic dependencies loading to work. It isn't that hard. Just use the
"-r" switch to ``mkisofs'' when you burn the image.

The INDEX files tells the dependencies.
