You are recommended to use binary snapshots and packages where
possible (particularly if you use CVSup which is a pain to build).
See <URL:http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#WhySrc> and

Your installed packages were linked against 38.2 of libc while you now
have 38.3. They were also linked against an older pthread (6.1) than
the one you currently have (6.2). Your installed packages are out of
sync with your userland.
If you use binary packages, this is still likely to happen as userland
snapshots appear much more often than packages (since building a
complete set of packages will take that much longer). However, if you
have set up a suitable PKG_PATH, 'pkg_add -u' can help you keep up to
do with your installed packages.

Your installed gettext is out of date compared to the ports tree which
will also show up in packages which depend on it. Similar for libtool,
redhat-motif, gnupg.

Definitely buy the CDs but be aware that your -current system is ahead
of 3.8 (as on the CDs). Downgrading without completely reinstalling
from scratch is not supported (again see FAQ 5)
