The package names?  I think you are referring to PORTVERSION and 
PORTREVISION.  For example, 1.34.6 is PORTVERSION, and 2 is the 
PORTREVISION.  This information is generated from the following:

  make -V PORTREVISION -V PORTVERSION

Is that what you are referring to?

I welcome example icons!

I was thinking to link people to the internal FreshPorts pages, and 
from there to the official vuxml.freebsd.org pages if they want 
additional information.
