There are issues involved here with masterports and slave ports
interacting badly in certain cases of changes to PORTVERSION,
PORTREVISION, and PORTEPOCH, but I am feeling a little bit sleepy
right now and I don't think I can explain it well.

The PH is completely lacking in this detail.  I will try to see if I
can look up my email on the issue the last time that it came up.  I
think eik@ is the person who best understands the issue, IIRC.

I also recall concluding that there was a lot of bad practice in our
tree because of this confusion.
