This is a good idea; IMHO, nawk/${PORTVERSION} would be even better.
David, how do you feel about another solution: hosting the distribution
tarball in your FreeBSD cluster's local distfiles directory? If the
nawk maintainers cannot be persuaded to track versions in the distfile
names, doing it locally might be a 'next best' approach...
