It simply means that I answered late in the evening and didn't test
anything myself.  Since I don't know the difference between pst2pdf
and pst4pdf I can't be sure that you get what you expect if you simply
change the symlink.  

However, it's certainly better to run tlmgr update as Karl proposed.

Yes, but then please s/move/copy/  :)

I don't see any problems.  You have to set $PATH accordingly, at least.
Please don't forget to adjust $MANPATH and $INFOPATH too.
