Ports aren't actually frozen at the moment.  Neither are they

infrastructure (ie. bsd.ports.mk, that sort of thing).

How does one determine the state (frozen/slush/unfrozen/other?) of the
Ports tree?

Is the state kept in the tree itself?

No -- you follow the announcements from r...@... and port...@... on the

appropriate mailing lists, and you consult the web page at http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html
