Yes.

Yes.

No.

It's pre-release software. There may be bugs. If you find any, file a  
ticket and assign it the 1.4 milestone.

selfupdate basically does a ./configure, make, sudo make install for  
you. The only caveat to be careful of is if you've installed  
something like Tcl/Tk Aqua, which replaces /usr/bin/tclsh (or as  
Kevin Walzer pointed out, if you have tclsh installed from fink) it  
can cause problems.

The only real caveat I can think of is if the official 1.4 release is  
different than 1.4rc2, a `port selfupdate` won't pick it up, since it  
will think both versions are 1.400.
