If someone has it installed (with whatever local patching it required), she
would probably get sad with port revision bump, since it would require to
explicitly hold the package in pkgtools.conf from now on.

I agree with Philip here: port revision should be bumped if something is
definitely wrong with installed packages users might have.  Bumping port
revision for (officially) broken ports is bogus.
