I looked over vercomp.c, and four-digit version numbers should not be  
treated differently. Vercomp simply compares each alphabetic or  
numeric segments in sequence. You should be able to verify this by  
running tclsh directly:

% lappend auto_path /opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl
% package require Pextlib 1.0
% rpm-vercomp 0.1.1.26 0.1.2.13

get_outdated_ports and action_outdated make their comparisons with  
rpm-vercomp if epoch comparison is inconclusive. So, I'm not sure  
where this bug could be coming from.
