Errr, ICBW (one needs to look at the history of the port), but in FreeBSD a -devel version of the port is usually created when somebody wants to be able to install a version that is currently under development and yet keep the ability for normal users to use the stable version. In these cases, a second port is created (once upon a time this was done by a repository copy to preserve the port's history) that is exactly the same as the first one, and then the port maintainer updates the second port (the -devel one) to a newer version.
