I don't understand this statement and maybe you mix things up here. NOVA changed is version from v6 to v7 in 2014. > I know I can (and have) re-downloaded the 17.05 Genode but is there a > possibility of doing the prepare_port from an earlier version of a port > (such as NOVA) so that I can reproduce the build that did work?

If you want to use an older version just check out the appropriate Git revision of Genode and run prepare_port for the ports needed. The port mechanism will take care to retrieve the proper port revision for the checked-out Genode revision. Please don't get distracted by the nova port fetching the current Git, it also checks out the proper revision on prepare_port.
