Unfortunately no.

For the users of mail/dspam* I provide this:

pre-everything::
.ifndef(MAINT)
        @${ECHO_CMD} ""
        @${ECHO_CMD} "Last ${FILESDIR}/UPDATING entry:"
        @${ECHO_CMD} "###########################################################################"
        @${SED} -n < ${FILESDIR}/UPDATING "/^# ${PKGNAME}/,/^#####/p"
        @${ECHO_CMD} ""
        @sleep 5
.endif


We could probably add this in the infrastructure for those maintainers
that want / have time to offer this feature by running the above code
only if files/UPDATING exists in the respective port.
