Again, it is unclear why you are attempting to build applications through compilation as opposed to simply installing the pre-compiled packages. There is no functional difference between -release & -stable, so installing -release packages is intended. Some packages have been updated for -stable, but you have not mentioned any specific reason why you are building.

Still get the "w-pkgname" listings; but presume the upgrades went.
Per Section 15.3.1 (emphasis added...):
Quote:
When a user issues make(1) in the subdirectory of a specific port, the system will recursively walk its dependency tree, check whether the required dependencies are installed, build and install any missing dependencies, and then continue the build of the desired port. All of the building happens inside the working directory that the port creates. Normally it is under ${WRKOBJDIR}, defaulting to /usr/ports/obj, but you may override this (see Configuration of the ports system). If WRKOBJDIR has been explicitly unset, a subdirectory of the port's main directory (package name prefixed by "w-") will be used instead.

Tried to make build the Xenocara directory per Faq5 (checkout from anoncvs); but encountered Code1 Errors.
You should ensure that you downloaded the correct version of the tree. If you retrieved the head of CVS (which is -current) instead of explicitly specifying the OPENBSD_4_5 tag (for -stable), this may explain why you are getting weird build errors.

Should I ignore this error?
No. Be sure that you completely understand what code is to be fetched as outlined in Section 5.3.3 & 5.5.
