1. FreeBSD-ports@freebsd.org list suits better for such a letter.
2. Your approach is not correct, because there are many ports which _do_
refer different versions of the same product. Just now:
Port name Distfiles
lang/gcc33 gcc-core-3.3.6.tar.bz2 ...
lang/gcc34 gcc-core-3.4.6.tar.bz2 ...
lang/gcc40 gcc-core-4.0-20060622.tar.bz2 ...
lang/gcc41 gcc-core-4.1-20060623.tar.bz2 ...
For the _correct_ approach, see, e.g.,
portsclean -D
which comes with the port sysutils/portupgrade.
