The shared libraries aren't compatible between 10.9 and 11.4 and are used
by many other packages so it's not really possible to update in 7.6-stable.

If you want 11.4 now you could run OpenBSD -current snapshots where it's
been updated.

btw, note the changes in binary logging in 11.4 will mean that log files
stack up unless you're doing replication or change the config
