I have always run my RT from the tarball on FreeBSD and it installs
everything in /opt/.
Upgrading that should not cause any hell if you follow the rules. The only
deviation is the upgrade of the perl modules, which "make fixdeps" does for
you. If other people are to maintain the system, then write them a howto for
maintaining RT, but AFAICS, it's already there for you in UPGRADING. Just
point them to it.
