What kind of mistake are you thinking of? I like the idea of having  
docs in a separate port a lot, if the docs are big -- better than  
having a +doc / +docs variant in the main port, for example, because  
if you "sudo port install something" and then later realize you  
needed the docs, it's more of a pain to "sudo port -f uninstall  
something && sudo port install something +docs" than it is to just  
"sudo port install something-docs". If the docs are small, though,  
then I'm in favor of the main port always installing them; see e.g.  
freetype where I recently nuked the +doc variant:
