No, the -A flag is new. (As in post-3.1-RELEASE). It will be in the
3.2 release. If you are going to keep your ports directory up to -stable,
you need to install the misc/31upgrade package. (NOTE: You must install
the package, not the port.)
The test is against '300000' because the -A parameter hasn't been
back-ported to the 2.2.? fetch binary for the 22?upgrade packages.
And since it wasn't added to bsd.port.mk until after 3.1-RELEASE,
it is reasonable to assume that any 3.x system which encounters it
has been updated for ports-stable.
(Or at least that's what I've gathered as an outside observer...)
