You do. :-)
The local _subversion repository_ (I know I'm using incorrent
terminology) has a revision number: r######. Which is the same
across different versions of FreeBSD.
The individual ports _maintained within that repository_ have
their individual ports numbers (e.g. libreoffice-3.6.5) ... which
also does not vary with the FreeBSD release. One can have
libreoffice-3.6.5 and libreoffice 3.5.4 - but those are two separate
ports and both work (or should) on 8.3, 9.1, and -CURRENT. If a
port has a minimum (or maximum) release of the OS it supports, there
a mechanism for figuring that out and DTRT.
Or did I misunderstand you?
