I would.

No.

No.  Ports?  You're using FreeBSD?  If so, I'd shutdown postmaster first
(/usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh stop) then use "portupgrade postgresql7"
if you have portupgrade installed.  If you don't have portupgrade
installed, I'd recommend installing it.  It makes port maintenance even
easier.
