No, you are not correct in that assumption.  The pkg utils compute
version number differences just fine.  The problem is that the person
who updated the nasm port to 0.98.35 mistakenly removed PORTEPOCH from the
port's makefile.
Add the line
 
 PORTEPOCH=1

to /usr/ports/devel/nasm/Makefile and things should behave correctly.
