Installed version of program succeeds available version

In order to check if my installed tools are up-to-date I usually run pkg version -voIL=, which gives something like the following:

Code: 
...
graphics/libGL                     >   succeeds index (index has 7.6.1_4)
graphics/libdrm                    >   succeeds index (index has 2.4.17_1)
...
databases/php5-pdo                 <   needs updating (index has 5.4.23)
..

Since I started using PKGNG the type notification of versions being newer than listed has started showing up. I have updated my ports tree, but I still seem to get versions which are newer than those reported in the ports tree. Comparing to http://www.freshports.org I see that the version of graphics/libGL seems to be at 7.6.1_4, while there is clear reference to a version 9.1.7, which is also what is reported by pkg info graphics/libGL
Code: 
# pkg info graphics/libGL
libGL-9.1.7
Name           : libGL
Version        : 9.1.7
Origin         : graphics/libGL
...

What is this inconsistency in the version numbering due to? Is there something wrong with my package index? Is there some other factor that I need to think of, something that I have forgotten, or is this an error in the ports infrastructure?
 
If you've built xorg with WITH_NEW_XORG some of the packages will be newer than what the ports system thinks they should be. This is normal.
 
Hm, I had not noticed that before. But I use this instead of pkg version:
portmaster -L --index-only | egrep '(ew|ort) version|total install'
