(Sorry for the late reply, I'm working through a two-week email backlog.) DES is correct; the newer pkg_version (which uses the ORIGIN directive) is better able to make a determination about what's current. "up-to-date with index" in more recent versions of pkg_version is the equivalent of "up-to-date" in older versions (the ones that only checked the INDEX file).

Hi!
Does anyone know a reason for the difference in the following outputs:
snip
ROOT ws3:~ pkg_version -v | grep bash
bash-2.04 = up-to-date with port
~
snipagain
ROOT server:~ pkg_version -v | grep bash
bash-2.04 * multiple versions (index has 1.14.7,2.04)

pkg_version is telling you that the INDEX does not match exactly what's
installed.
If you want out of date ports, use pkg_version -vl""
