Please put it back in this port. Explain what it does to the processing? PORTEPOCH was added for the case of PORTVERSION=20011210 going to PORTVERSION=2.3 -- an obvious change in the version number scheme. It seems you are trying to take a statement that was said under the assumption of my example above to be absolute irregardless of situation. From the two comments from you and sobomax, I am starting to think no one knows how PORTEPOCH is processed and exactly what it affects.
