Ports lock is no indication of the state of base. The locks are independent.

Use sysupgrade -n and monitor the OS version number ("what
/home/_sysupgrade/bsd"). If you see 6.6-current it is post-release and
you should not install it ("rm /bsd.upgrade"), you can then wait until
actual release day and update to be sure you're running on the proper
release binaries.
