FWIW my attitude to this sort of thing is to always do it from ports (or
packages) when ever I can. When I only ran one unix box it was easy
enough to keep track of what I had installed and which versions they
were. Move to more than that, doing different things, and it becomes
very useful to be able to make sure they're all running the same
versions and check whether there's a new version (or security fix)
available.
