[kde-freebsd] Things in trunk that seem to be a downgrade

Having rebuilt everything using area51 trunk (KDE4), I was about to upgrade my 
system using all the packages built from area51 trunk. Most of it seems 
sensible:

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
        telepathy-qt4: 0.9.4 -> 0.9.5
	...
        automoc4: 0.9.88_4 -> 0.9.88_5
        attica: 0.4.2,2 -> 0.4.2_1,2

But there's also cases where ports are actually unchanged in trunk, but are 
missing a PORTREVISION that matches official ports. This makes it seem like a 
downgrade:

Installed packages to be DOWNGRADED:
        soprano: 2.9.4_1 -> 2.9.4
        raptor2: 2.0.15_1 -> 2.0.15
        qt4-corelib: 4.8.7_2 -> 4.8.7
        nepomuk-core: 4.14.3_3 -> 4.14.3_1
        libstreams: 0.7.8_1 -> 0.7.8
        libstreamanalyzer: 0.7.8_5 -> 0.7.8_2
        libkfbapi: 1.0_3 -> 1.0                                                 
        kfilemetadata: 4.14.3_3 -> 4.14.3                                       
        ebook-tools: 0.2.2_3 -> 0.2.2                                           

I'm wondering what to do with these. I would expect this to complicate a merge 
into ports a little. Here's what seems to be the differences:

        soprano: 2.9.4_1 -> 2.9.4
Only PORTREVISION and USES=tar:bz2 vs USES=tar:bzip2. Portrevision was bumped 
in ports r353029; that change is incorporated in trunk.

        raptor2: 2.0.15_1 -> 2.0.15
Only PORTREVISION. Bumped for an ICU update in april 2015.

        qt4-corelib: 4.8.7_2 -> 4.8.7
PORTREVISION bumped twice. r402613 and r408855. Both changes are also in trunk 
(except for the bump).

        nepomuk-core: 4.14.3_3 -> 4.14.3_1
Bumped for libzip update in r395464 and poppler in r406872.

        libstreams: 0.7.8_1 -> 0.7.8
Bumped in r344139 and then most of that change reverted in 395972.

        libstreamanalyzer: 0.7.8_5 -> 0.7.8_2
Most recently bumped for NEW XORG in r351411

        libkfbapi: 1.0_3 -> 1.0                                                 
Bumped for gcc update in 2014.

        kfilemetadata: 4.14.3_3 -> 4.14.3                                       
Bumped for libzip and poppler.

        ebook-tools: 0.2.2_3 -> 0.2.2                                           
Bumped for libzip.


So I'd like to reintroduce the PORTREVISIONS for these ports -- which are all 
essentially unchanged from official ports -- so that they don't seem like a 
downgrade.

But there's an underlying question here: should trunk follow ports closely 
except for the-ports-that-are-being-prepared-for-update, or not?
