That means, to me, that 2.6 is all new features. That being the case, it may not be possible to gracefully go from 2.5 to 2.6, I will have to look into it.
My non-macports managed postfix install has been fine from 2.4 - 2.6 (without having to mess with the rather simple config I have set up).
I would guess that more complicated installs may have issues, but presumably nothing that the people who set up the install would be unable to deal with.
I would encourage you to use 2.6.1 (or whatever the latest current stable release is around when you get time to work on it).
I also do not want to be a part of breaking every postfix mail server out there based on ports :)
While it's nice when port maintainers go to a lot of effort to make 'port upgrade' just do the right thing, it's not possible in all cases. I don't think it's necessary to split the port up in all of those situations.
Ultimately, it's up to the maintainer to make the decision about what level of effort should be put into trying to handle everything automatically and at what point to perhaps just point the person doing the upgrade/install to the documentation for that particular piece of software so that the end-user can figure out how to manage migration from one version to another.
