Yeah, that doesn't sound like a good reason not to update the port.  
If a new version of software is released, the port should be updated  
to that version (assuming it compiles on our supported platforms and  
such). If there's a need for keeping the older version around, then I  
agree with the previous poster who said a new port should then be  
created (by copying the older version of the pidgin port).
