Thanks for fixing this, Bryan, but...

...doesn't this point to a design problem with the infrastructure?

Mk/bsd.ports.mk says:

  # UNIQUENAME - A name for your port that is globally unique.  By default,
  #              this is set to ${LATEST_LINK} when LATEST_LINK is set,
  #              and to ${PKGNAMEPREFIX}${PORTNAME} otherwise.

  # PKGNAMESUFFIX - Suffix to specify compilation options or a version
  #                 designator (in case there are different versions of
  #                 one port as is the case for Tcl).

If PKGNAMESUFFIX is used as Mat suggested (to carry a version number), 
shouldn't it become part of UNIQUENAME?  Can this be improved?

If not, I guess I should just revert PORTNAME to gcc47, gcc48, and 
so forth.  Using PKGNAMESUFFIX is not providing the expected benefit.  
And things just are becoming more complex. :-(
