Err.. strictly speaking, the port's version is not the same: it is
now 0.65_7, it was 0.65_6 before.  The 'port revision' number was
introduced for precisely this purpose: to provide an indicator that
something important has changed in the FreeBSD port even when
the mainstream version of the ported software remains the same.

G'luck,
Peter
