Every time I have updated those libraries in the past, I have always made sure that the updated version compiles against the blender port. Not only that, but I did run into one instance where blender was compiling successfully against a newer version of one of the libraries, but the Blender app was crashing during runtime whenever I tried to render a project.

Whether or not you decide to keep openmaintainer on the ports in question, it would be a good idea to make a note about this in a comment in the portfiles for those libraries so that anyone who decides to commit a change (openmaintainer/maintainer timeout/security update/mistake) is more likely to be aware of this.
