It is, in the sense that ports does not maintain multiple branches.  However, 
when a release is produced, the ports tree at that time is tagged, so you could 
refer back to it if you needed to.

Basicly, using a RELEASE_X_Y_Z tag would give you the ports tree which you'd 
get from the ISO image, which is probably not what most users want when trying 
to update their ports (ie, they'd miss any of the updates which have been 
released since then).
