Why would you keep the docs separate from the app?
Seems like it would increase the risk of a mistake by both the user
and the maintainer...

What kind of mistake are you thinking of? I like the idea of having docs in a separate port a lot, if the docs are big -- better than having a +doc / +docs variant in the main port, for example, because if you "sudo port install something" and then later realize you needed the docs, it's more of a pain to "sudo port -f uninstall something && sudo port install something +docs" than it is to just "sudo port install something-docs". If the docs are small, though, then I'm in favor of the main port always installing them; see e.g. freetype where I recently nuked the +doc variant:
