One of the strengths of our ports system is the number of
version-specific ports and the ease that they are created. This also
means that there are many existing examples to follow.

And those are just the ones I gleaned in five minutes looking over
CVSROOT/modules.
I support you completely in having two ports, etc., etc., but please
note that none of the above ports have the same directory naming style
as yours.
I agree completely with the names David suggested above. Please
cvs remove and re-import the ports under the correct names. A
repo-copy isn't necessary since they have no revision history.
You may want to diverge from David's suggestion a little and name
one of them without a version number and distribution ("RH", for
RedHat being the current distribution) to signify which port is the
current reccomended one.
