You can use either tag= or date=

date= is useful if you know a specific port worked on a certain day and
was broken afterwards, or if you're rolling out several machines over
a period of time and want to ensure they all have the same ports tree
for consistency sake.

tag=. means "latest".  The ports tree doesn't have other tags.

The source tree has RELENG tags, and tag=. is head (again: latest).
See this page for more on source tags:
