No, just give the servers a few hours to run their update scripts.
Then the new portfiles will be available by selfupdate. (I confess I do
not know how often these days the scripts run, but it is at least a  
couple
of times per day, IIRC.)

If by, say, 0000 UTC 28 Oct 2006 you don't see the new portfiles, let  
me know.
Something might be wacky with the server.

Sorry for the delay.

Best Wishes,
Greg
