For simple cases it is largely a matter of personal preference.  Many
of us old farts prefer PORTVERSION because it's been in use for so long
and IMHO makes more sense when reading the Makefile.  What I dislike,
however, is the gratuitous change (in either direction) when the actual
version remains the same because it pessimizes blaming.
