Well, that was my original understanding, and that's how I used it
in e.g. mail/fetchmail :)  However, I've seen a comment or two that
PORTREVISION should be reserved for FreeBSD security-related fixes,
and now I'm not so sure.  So, you are saying my original impression
was correct, and PORTREVISION is the version-bump tool to use for
rerolled tarballs?

G'luck,
Peter
