I won't call it unstable. I myself have 3 FreeBSD boxes with about 600 ports installed on each. Two boxes are updated regularily, anoher one have some ports outdated - for all those I can't remember any problems for 2-3 years. If there actually are any breakages, I don't think they cost the effort of maintaining branched ports tree.
