I thought that perhaps the won't be too many differences between that old
version amd current.

That seems arguable; I would consider repocopying even patches if changes
warrant it, and would certainly repocopy any pkg-* files.  It really helps
to keep the dots connected and makes archaeology much easier.  Once you
get into the habit of studying the history before making any changes on a
port this becomes quite conspicuous.
