Well, if the "you can't publish this for another system" clause remains, then the scenario looks like this:

1. Green Ronin accepts the terms of the GSL (say, GSL 2.0).
2. Green Ronin ports Freeport to 4e
3. WotC revises the GSL in a way that's no longer acceptable to Green Ronin. (say, GSL 3.0)
4. Green Ronin rejects the terms of the revised GSL 3.0, and is bound by the GSL 2.0, including being unable to produce new products under it, and being unable to port material made for 4e over to other systems.

So basically, unless WotC said otherwise, 4e would be the last system that Freeport could be published for.

This is all contingent on their being at least some of the same 4e-only and lasts-forever clauses in the new GSL as the old.
