Patchlevels are just indicated as a minor version bump. I.e., if
previous version was 1.6.3, and you now have patchlevel 1.6.3-2, we
indicate that with "1.6.3.2". Hence:
PORTVERSION= 1.6.3.2
[..]
DISTNAME= 1.6.3-2
The fact that Linux folks use hyphens to indicate patchlevels is broken
behavior, IMHO...

Yes. Please use the above behavior, which is perfectly fine..
