I reverted the changes for the messed-up ports and just gave them a
PORTREVISION bump.

As an aside, I think this is a good example of why another discussion on
the costs versus benefits of having a quarterly branch is warranted.
Ashish rightfully merged a security update for editors/emacs, but many
ports would have been broken without a PORTREVISION bump.  Merging the
commits for the PORTREVSION bumps was a pain because of the divergence
between the branches.

I believe the results of the recent community survey will be released
soon.  If I recall correctly, something in the range of 15% of
respondents prefer infrequent package updates.  I think that begs the
question whether maintaining two port branches is worth the effort.
