I try to use packages where I can, but often programs require

It can work but better avoid it. It's not as bad as crossing the streams
but could cause problems.
Difficult to foresee what kind of problems and why because it depends on
too many factors.
I know users who have always been mixing a few hand build ports with a
mostly package system without problems. It can be done if one knows what
he's doing. But it's not the officially supported way of doing things.
I'll stick to ports till building my own repository then. Thanks again,
Guido. I appreciate all your advice.
