It was updated to 0.89 once previously but was then downgraded again.
The commit message at the time was:

  revision 1.38
  date: 2001/03/02 18:44:38;  author: sobomax;  state: Exp;  lines: +8 -10
  On i386 downgrade to 0.88 because 0.89 is buggy and segfaults very too often.

  Submitted by:   Mike Heffner <mheffner@vt.edu>

So changing to 0.89 might not be a good idea.

Once PORTEPOCH has been set it should *never* be removed or decreased.
