First, has libm finally had the log2 functions defined in the C99 spec added? (this is an issue dating back to 2005, standards/83845 )

No, nor some other functions in the spec. But you could add it by patching libm or using libmap.conf(5) to divert the loader from libm to a library of your own. Someone posted an implementation for a port derived from Sun sources in:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2009-March/009819.html

Second, I'm aware that altivec support is implemented in -CURRENT, as of some months ago, will this be stable enough for release?

I don't know. I haven't seen any complaints about it.

Third (more a support question), what's a good and quick way to clean out every port? I'll need to recompile everything (damn tier 2 ;))

pkg_delete -af rm -r /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg rm -r /var/db/pkg/* rm -r /usr/local/* (if you don't have any locally-modified configuration files you want to keep..) rm -r /var/db/ports/* (if you want to wipe your recorded port OPTIONS ...)

Fourth, how is the new shared versioning meant to work?

Do you mean this?:
