I haven't used portcheckout before, but it does sound like something is wrong there. HEAD doesn't always do what is expected in CVS; that could be part of it. It sounds a lot like portcheckout set a so-called "sticky date" or "sticky tag" when it checked out the files originally. Somebody else will have to debug this one, I'm afraid.
