Thanks for reporting the problem. I have filed a ticket in the issue  
tracker for you:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19865

In the future you can file issues there yourself. Here are the  
instructions:

FYI: This is not a stealth update because the version number has  
changed. A stealth update is when a distfile is changed without its  
filename changing.
