That is inconsistent with the Porter's Handbook, which notes '10.a3' as
a valid PORTVERSION derived from a '10Alpha3' DISTVERSION.

3.4.0.a3 is the desired result. The logic in ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
dictates that when translating DISTVERSION -> PORTVERSION, adjacent
[:alpha:] and [:digit:] are separated by '.' only when the former
appears after the latter.
