If you are running your own pkg repo, then you should rebuild all the
packages you supply from it.
You shouldn't need to rebuild / reinstall all of the packages already
installed on your system -- they will continue to work just fine. As
time goes on, and you naturally upgrade installed packages as part of
normal system maintenance, you may notice the dependency lists changing,
but that's about all.
The point of this change is to help binary package management choosing
the right set of packages from available repositories as it works; if
you're building everything locally via portmaster(8) or otherwise, then
it's not going to have much effect on you.
Cheers,
Matthew
