The bump was not needed here since the port didn't build at all with
custom LOCALBASE/PREFIX. Since it didn't build it couldn't have been
installed or packaged, so no need to bump.

In the general case I think we should bump PORTREVISION when fixing
something, even for non-default configurations since there's no other
way for a user to know to upgrade. Some disagree.
