Well, that's an accurate representation of development practice ... with the version typically being "the next version towards which we're working".
I'd never expect such "daily ports" to appear in MacPorts, but for personal stuff they might be nice as portfiles automate the whole procedure one would otherwise have to do by hand. Or write a script for from scratch.

Yeah, to help my own memory I'd add a date suffix to the version tag :)
