Makes sense for the OS (we use the -RELEASE versions ourselves).

For ports, what you probably want to do is have a staging environment  
on which you can install and upgrade ports at will, and verify that  
they work with your application.  Once verified, build packages from  
those ports and then use the packages to install on your production  
server(s).
