That's the way the port tools work. The FreeBSD Porter's Handbook
recommends using 9.2.3.r4 for 9.2.3rc4:
  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html
and indeed:
# pkg_version -t 9.2.3.r4 9.2.3
<

People using portupgrade are missing the update to the release
version. What is the problem with bumping the PORTEPOCH?
