I don't think I really understand what you mean, could you give an example?

If you mean something akin to setting the `version` in a PortGroup, this 
doesn't always work reliably. I have such a PG and it seems there are always 
some ports that don't show up in `port outdated` after I bump the version 
(presumably because PortIndex can fail to detect that a port imports certain 
PGs).

If you do think of setting a revision in the PortGroup: how do you propose 
coping with the fact that dependents may set their own revision, typically 
after including the PortGroup?
