There's at least 3 solutions to your problem:

1) use the smtp.module and an smtp server on a different host so that
you can still use 4.7

2) use the logintoboggan.module to have registration without smtp so
that you are still on 4.7 but don't need smtp

3) edit the modules that you need so they will work with HEAD -
instructions on doing so can be found here:
http://drupal.org/update/modules

Personally, I would choose either option 1 or 2, but option 3 is still
a pretty good way to go so that you help those module maintainers get
their code in shape for HEAD.

Greg
