I seem to remember some discussion on using numeric only, and not alpha 
in PORTVERSION string, and would like to address this with maintainer 
unless its just my faulty memory mixing up PORTVERSION/REVISION.

only thing I found ~seems~ to indicate using alpha is ok:

<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html#AEN504>
portlint -abt doesn't complain, but it is a 'new port' and I don't want 
it to start out life with something that will garner larts,pavmail or 
other wise generate public flogging once I commit it.
