There is best way - update flex in base system, and resolve any conflicts.
BTW, it should be painless operation - base system already have flex 2.5.4, 
and any troubles betweet system and port flex is some function redefine, and 
bunch of new table functions (system lib doens't work with port's include and 
vice versa).

I don't have much experience with this kind of work, but will try to make 
patch in a day-two..

Second way is manual set path to ports flex ( as ports/115912 suggest) in any 
port, which want to use extended flex/yy functions (and only God know number 
of such ports).
