First off....  Yes, I know 9.1-RELEASE is deprecated.  I want to run something 
newer, but circumstances require I can't for now.

Traditionally in FreeBSD -STABLE (as in 9-STABLE) referred to the APIs as being 
stable, i.e., stuff compiled within the same major release would generally run 
on versions within that release... or so I recall.  I have an instance where I 
have a need to run 9.1-RELEASE, but my package building infrastructure is all 
centered around 9.3-RELEASE or later.  Based on my (possibly incorrect) 
understanding of How Things Are[tm], I think packages built for 9.3-RELEASE 
will generally run on 9.1-RELEASE.  Does this sound generally correct, or am I 
totally off base here?  Any major pitfalls I should know of?
