I think the current terminology means that if $subport equals $name,
then this is should not be a subport at all, but the "main" port. For
this mysql55 port, the subports mysql55 and mysql55-server are quite
different and probably should not be implemented as a subport.

I don't like this syntax either and it is confusing to me. Maybe we
could handle this as a special case to allow use of a clear syntax
without implying a difference on the "main" port and other subports?
