It's not really equivalent, since the Debianoids freeze (almost all of)
the distro at a particular version, so you don't really get dependency
version errors in the way you do with rolling distros like MacPorts.
You'd need to hold all the deps in the same way, and all the rdeps of
those, etc...
You could look at
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort to see how to
install an older version of a port, and do it after each upgrade if
gnuplot gets overwritten. Provided it links OK against newer libs, dep
names haven't changed, and so on, that would link against the latest
libs but allow use of the old version. If it didn't work, you could use
the old Portfile as the basis for one in a local repo as Daniel suggested.

Hi
Sometimes I want to hold a given package at a specific version, is
there a way to do this with port?
Currently I use something like the following:
$ sudo port upgrade outdated and not gnuplot
however that only works if none of the outdated ports have a
dependency on gnuplot. Is there something like:
# apt-mark hold gnulot
on Debian/Ubuntu?
Cheers
Adam
