Comment(by dluke@…):

 Macports can only build the current version of a port. See
 http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort for how to build
 an older version.

 The current implementation could probably error out if you specify a
 version that doesn't match the current portfile, though.
