If you're changing what gets installed then it should be given a revision bump;
if not, then don't change the version or revision and it will not be rebuilt.
If you're referring to while you're developing the Portfile, MacPorts has a
switch to override the default "clean on Portfile change":
-o honor state files even if the Portfile has been modified since
(called -o because it used to mean "older")
Note that this Portfile change detection includes a hash of the Portfile (you
can generate the hash using `openssl dgst -sha256 Portfile`), not just the
timestamp.
