All of us that upgraded had to do it. If you don't, you have a situation like the Xfont problem in XFree86 where the fonts were moved to -libraries and the pkg_delete of the old location deleted them but didn't reinstall them. You had to reinstall -library in order to continue with the update. I don't upgrade kde from a konsole in kde. So, my attitude was that I didn't have a working version with the first dependancy update. I also used 2 AMD 2400+ XP's to build alternating packages in parallel and use the package for the install on the other computer. So I had 2 machines down until I finished and that was something on the order of 6 hours. If you upgrade, set "BATCH=yes" in your /etc/make.conf and start the upgrade while you aren't around. FruitSalad only has packages for 5.2, so you will have to build them from the port and that takes a long time. The BATCH command tells the make to install everything.
