Actually I think it uses bdb "cache" of index (INDEX-7.db) and also lies 
about it (says "up-to-date with port" instead of "up-to-date with index").

It's not even doing a good job at it, standard pkg_version significantly 
outperforms it:

# time portversion -v | wc -l
     769

real    0m15.027s
user    0m9.235s
sys     0m5.173s

# time pkg_version -Iv | wc -l
     769

real    0m4.707s
user    0m3.648s
sys     0m0.798s
