Comment(by jcupitt@…):

 The advantage would be that when goffice-0.7.x finally becomes the new
 stable 0.8.x, the nip2 portfile won't need updating.

 I noticed a port called goffice03 which is I guess for packages that
 haven't been updated to goffice06, so I thought by extension that
 goffice08 might be a good name. Debian and friends do it rather like this.

 Of course if Macports has an established -devel convention than that would
 be the better thing to do I guess, though it does mean that the nip2
 Portfile is likely to break when 0.8 goes stable.
