I might be misunderstanding, but it seems like you're suggesting that
PORTVERSIONS be bumped to signal that previously unbuildable ports can
now be built. I fail to see who this would benefit in any way.

ahze, if faac was unbuildable before, then things are fine the way that
they are. If faac built fine before, but it was only upwardly dependent
ports that could not build, then faac should have a PORTREVISION bump.
Please use this criteria and commit a PORTREVISION bump if need be; you
understand the nature of the changes better than anyone else here.
