Manual says "diff -uR" but macOS diff doesn't support "-R"

Busy adopting nsd (currently no maintainer). I have created a Portfile for the last version and added Startupitem statements. Everything works here.

The manual says:

diff -uR $(port dir $portname) . > change-$portname-maintainer.diff

However, macOS Mojave’s diff doesn’t understand that. -R is an invalid option. I’m not going to guess here, so what is it supposed to be?
