Well, fortunately, the  "support" is already in  bsd.ports.mk. What else
is there?  In my ports,  I try to keep  the minor numbers.  However, the
decision needs to made, that this a good (or even acceptable) idea. Just
recently another committer -- well known for knowing my low QA skills --
backed out  my additions  of the  minor numbers to  a pkg-plist.  In the
discussion,  that followed,  he  suggested I  get  the common  consensus
first, so here I am.

I would not create this from scratch,  but the support seems to be there
already, or am I mistaken and something else needs to be done?
