No, you don't need to do a complete reinstall, IMO; you do need to update your source, perhaps even desperately.
I will do a update of my sources and build world asap. I was simply under the impression that I could safely upgrade only the ports. So that's how I got started down this. And then when things went bad I wanted to fix it before I tried upgrading anything else and possibly compunding things.
_______________________________________________From what I've heard, portsdb -Uu is not preferred in 5.3, rather one should do make fetchindex in /usr/ports then run portsdb -u afterwards. I've only HEARD that this is correct, but it worked for me..... so make of it what you will....

I guess that's the fix. Everything seemed to go just fine. Everything has been rebuilt (except OO, and a sun-jdk... but I think I installed them as packages anyway). So I guess I'll be doing something like the following to upgrade my ports from now on:
# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile # /usr/ports/make fetchindex # portsdb -u # pkgdb -F # portupgrade -a
If this looks incorrect please let me know.
