Oh, so iif there is some compat7x port on my 8.0-CURRENT box, then only I can use 7.0-RELEASE packages. Thanks for the reply.

Using packages compiled for 7.0-RELEASE in 8-CURRENT
Hi all, I'm having a confusion about installing packages compiled in 7.0-RELEASE in 8.0-CURRENT. I've 2 boxen, a 7.0-RELEASE-p5 and a 8-CURRENT. The 7.0-RELEASE-p5 is fully updated as of now, and has all updated ports available in the form of binary packages. Now, I'm wondering if it is okay to install those binary packages on my 8-CURRENT box. Has anyone tried this ? And what kind of issues you experienced. Issues to dependencies on libraries in base install, hmm...?
