I was able to build ports and upgrade with portmaster on FreeBSD 9.1 and
9.2-STABLE, and more recently, 10.0 prerelease and 11-HEAD.
With 10.0 prerelease and 11-HEAD, I haven't got very far yet, not because of
failures, but newness and maintaining four installations: 10.0 prerelease and
11-HEAD for both amd64 and i386. But I was able to use portmaster successfully.
