If you are using a snapshot of the ports tree, you should have installed a matching snapshot of OpenBSD. Make sure you keep your ports tree and your OpenBSD system in sync!

The reason for this admonition is that underlying libraries may have changed. If developers working on the kernel and/or userland find a reason for tweaking the code found in libraries used by various ports, whatever ports have been installed will need to upgraded/rebuilt whenever the system is upgraded/rebuilt.
