Well, I think also that we should not have a separate port for the CVS version. Personally I would say that it's better to have two ports which are different in the version and not in the name. For example if we want one CVS and one stable version of mplayer I would say that the latest stable version of it should belong to the contrib repository and the cvs version (both are named equally) should belong to a private httpup repository. I think that a CVS version is definite that what can be considered as an exotic port and therefore it doesn't belong to the contrib repository. Now everyone can switch easily between the stable and the CVS version of mplayer. And if the port isn't popular enough to get into the contrib repository it doesn't make any sens to create ports with different versions of it.
Along these lines, perhaps we should consider creating a[nother] merged ports repo (ala prtsync) called contrib-testing (or something) for these types of ports. Maintainers can tag all of their cvs/bleeding edge ports for this new place, thus making them readily available to masses and not cluttering/breaking contrib. Just an idea.
