I concur.  I had a go with this as well last night, and it seems to be 
fine so far.

I did make one change; I did not like to overwrite the standard ports 
distribution as I automatically update it nightly, so I extracted it in 
/usr/ports/local/mailscanner-devel, and added the following lines near the 
top of the Makefile:

CATEGORIES=     local
VALID_CATEGORIES+=      ${CATEGORIES}
PKGNAMESUFFIX=  -devel

Then I might have done something like:

  portupgrade -o local/mailscanner-devel MailScanner-4.75.11

(can't remember now!).

The above worked for me, although more voodoo may be required in some 
cases, there is an interesting thread here:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2007-April/040363.html

Thanks,

Jethro.
