From FreeBSD Developers’ Handbook:
If you are adding shared library support to a port or other piece of software that does not have one, the version numbers should follow these rules. Generally, the resulting numbers will have nothing to do with the release version of the software.
For ports:
Prefer using the number already selected by upstream
If upstream provides symbol versioning, ensure that we use their script
