I don't have it by that name, but under
/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/x400.html

As already explained in a previous message, everything that
is added after the port version, either in the package name
or when registering the port (usually in /var/db/pkg), come
from different variables defined in the ports Makefile

PORTNAME=	abc
PORTVERSION=	x gets added after portname as -x (abc-x)
PORTREVISION=	y  gets added as _y (abc-x_y)
PORTEPOCH=	z  gets added as ,z (abc-x_y,z)
