The first thing I noticed was the Makefile header. A while ago it was
decided to trim the header down to two lines. This change is included in
the attached patch.

That said, I'm not an office porter, so I don't know how things are done
around here. You won't need to set PORTREVISION because this is a new
port, and depending on the distribution file PORTEPOCH may not be
required either.

And a suggestion from a user standpoint: I think improving the pkg-descr
for all these ports can be helpful.

Good luck,
