Only three, actually.

git-flow-bash-completion adds entries for use by the bash-completion port
so bash can autocomplete git-flow commands; it probably works (at least to
some extent) for all of the git-flow ports.

-devel ports are generally used for testing new versions, and you usually
do *not* want to use them as normal ports. It's entirely likely that it is
*older* than the current release, since not everyone cleans up afterward if
they intend to use the -devel port for testing the next major release.

Between those three, it looks like they are forks of the original (nvie)
with presumably changed behavior; you would have to look up the upstream
details of those forks.
