No, because this would require a major version bump each time a port
switches from a.out to ELF.
Also I'm running 1.3.x and 1.4.x binaries on 1.5 without problems, provided
the rigth libraries are installed in /emul/aout (the a.out ld.so shipped with
1.5 looks for librarires in /emul/aout/foopath instead of /foopath)
