Good question.
In that case, I believe it is quite easy and explicit to start the code by
If[$VersionNumber < 6, Get["NumberTheory`NumberTheoryFunctions`"]];
as the PrimitiveRoot function has been added as a Kernel function under the
same name than in the old package. It should work cleanly, without error
message in all Mathematica versions from 4 to 8.
