Comment (by ionic@…):

 In the end, that's personal preference of the port maintainer(s).

 "Some time ago" (years, actually) `glib2` and `glib2-devel` diverged in
 such a way, that `glib2` was more recent than `glib2-devel`. I made a
 request at the port maintainer and asked him to at least keep the versions
 synchronized, if there's currently no new development version available,
 instead of letting the `-devel` port go stale and be older than the normal
 port, because people generally install `-devel` ports as they want to use
 newer versions. Being left "behind" is not something I would expect from a
 `-devel` port.

 He initially dismissed the request, but came around later and since tries
 to sync them up, AFAIK.

 For me, everything is fine, as long as the `-devel` version is greater or
 equal the "normal" one.

 That said, there's no official rule for that, so it's merely my
 preference.
