Alternatively,

portversion -v | grep \<

eg:

[betom@ayiin] [Wed May 23 17:26:33 2007]
/usr/home/betom
$ portversion -v | grep \<

% pkg_version -vL=
(slow, but works for 7.x)
I believe it is safe (for now) to symlink INDEX-6 as INDEX-7. This will allow pkg_version -I to be used on -CURRENT.
or
% pkg_version -vIL=
(faster, assuming you have an up-to-date INDEX, 5.x or 6.x)
if you don't use ports-mgmt/portupgrade

This will may change in the future, so I don't suggest doing that.
INDEX-7 is automatically downloaded when you get "make fetchindex" anyhow, so why do you want to symlink the two Indeces?
