If you mean "Is it guaranteed a binary built under x.0 will
run, even with remapped libraries, under x.9?" then the answer is
"Hell, no."
If you mean "Will a port that builds sucessfully under both x.0
and x.9 be limited only by changes in the port and not in the OS?"
then the answer (as I understand it) is "Probably."
