No, to my knowledge, the content is right, but the procedure to resurrect a
port can be a bit tedious, and thus people don't follow it and just add the
port as if it was new.  On the other hand running the addport script will
do the right thing all the time.  (And if there are cases where it does not
work, which, to my knowledge, there are none, it can be fixed.)
