I do find it annoying to see errors in 'port -v -u uninstall'.

I get your point, I'm doing uninstall and reinstalls on my PowerBook and 
its taking forever.

But isn't that the point of our buildbots, so we can have these the 
ports have the correct dependencies and not have to worry about 
recompiling time for most of our users?

How about, if there's no update to a port in the commit you made, we 
bump the rev?
