That advice still holds.

No need, usually. The only reason why there's a Portfile in the package is so 
that the port can define post-deactivate blocks. So if you're adding / removing 
/ changing a port's post-deactivate block, then yes, that would be a reason to 
increase the revision to get the package rebuilt. But most ports don't have 
custom post-deactivate blocks.
