There are compat libraries that are available, so if you are running 13.x (the most current major release) but want to run binaries originally compiled under 12.x, you install:

See further:

And for anyone that isn't intimately familiar with FreeBSD's release history or anything, I feel like it's worth pointing out that the 4.x major release dates from over 23 years ago. You can run binaries from before people were inhabiting the ISS and/or right around the time AOL was big enough to purchase Time Warner.
