Thank you all for your replies. It helped me to figure out what is
going on.
I think for this project I will see how it goes with -stable and -stable
ports. For other projects I will definitely try -current. Others I
shouldn't need anything more than -release + patches.

update for stable repo.
Being a newcomer (or newcomebacker?), I would agree with that. I read a
lot of the FAQ and other support pages before I even downloaded
5.5-release to test it out. I think what I must have done is read
'15.4.6 - What should I use: packages or ports?' before I read the rest
of FAQ 15. By doing that I must have skimmed/skipped over 15.3 and
missed the key section '15.3.10 - Security updates' which does describe
the situation.
Anyway, thanks again!
