Yes. I can do that. I have just managed to do a successful make on 2.2.0 with the usb drivers (usbhid-ups) on 4.1 stable (after .install of the libusb port). But lacked the time to test it. So I can witout a problem instead wait and do the port testing for you if it will compile/install on 4.1 stable (I never use current in production). I will check the ports tree again within a few days...
