Yes, there are reasons. The nessus team has just started a new development branch, but not yet releases a version out of that. Here's the developer's announcement: > Nessus 2.1.x developement has started ! > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > I am also pleased to announce that the developement of Nessus 2.1.x has > started, and will eventually result in the release of Nessus 2.2.0 when > it is ready.

As soon as the first release of the 2.1.x branch is released, both ports will become different. I maintained both ports so people tracking the -devel ports always had a working port, instead of being forced to switch to non-devel during a "non-developing" period.
