I do not understand what is so hard with understanding why PORTREVISION
exists.

PORTREVISION exists to tell tools that a package is obsolete and needs
to be rebuilt.  We bump it when we make changes to the port that whilst
the upstream version of the port stays the same, the package needs to be
rebuilt because reasons. (Reasons explained in the porter's handbook.)

If it was not building before, then there is no obsolete package with
the same version, so you do not bump PORTREVISION.
