These are the only ports that have man pages and packages build for them.

In theory, any version of the ports tree should be compatable with any

Yes, there is a patch branch for 5.1 (if that's what you mean) although
it doesn't really seem to fit into the development model.  Use
RELENG_5_1 for your cvsup tag.
