and for the immediate workaround, the port maintainer can bump the epoch.
Isn't that going to muck things up for future versions if I then delete it completely? I figure that that must be the reason why I get The following installed ports are outdated: ... netpbm 10.26.30_0 > 10.26.39_0 ! ... when running "port -v outdated", since the changeset history for the netpbm Portfile shows an epoch line being inserted and then deleted. I suppose that leaving epoch in there permanently shouldn't hurt, but it's a bit misleading. A question now to everyone using tor or tor-devel: what does "port -v outdated" yield for you? My testing, like that of Chris Pickel, suggests that rpm-vercomp is working fine; I don't quite understand the Tcl to understand exactly what port.tcl is doing.
