I suspect package compatibility is not maintained on per-pfSense-version basis. 
 Meaning, packages worked on 2.x up until the package changes on 2.3, and 
probably will work on into the future until the next breaking change.

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Upgrade_Guide#pfSense_2.3_Upgrade_Guide has 
text:
See Package Port List for a list of packages currently available on 2.3.

Thanks.  Looks like I can proceed with an update to 2.3.

Regardless, I still think there should be a way to authoritatively determine 
this info via the pfSense web site -- ideally, for all releases, minimally for 
the current release.  Perhaps the generation of such a page could be added to 
the build/release tools?  Alternatively, porting pfSense's packages pages to 
run on the pfSense site could provide the current-release info.
