That is inconsistent with the Porter's Handbook, which notes '10.a3' as a valid PORTVERSION derived from a '10Alpha3' DISTVERSION.

The logic in ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk dictates that when translating DISTVERSION -> PORTVERSION, adjacent [:alpha:] and [:digit:] are separated by '.' only when the former appears after the latter.
