I can understand if no-one wants to take the time to explain this, but could
someone just tell me if I should go re-read the man-pages or if there
actually are something wrong in ports(7)?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand this correct, but to me it seems ports(7) is
missing the difference between FORCE_UPDATE=Yes and FORCE_UPDATE=hard.
ports(7)
If FORCE_UPDATE is set to `Yes', dependencies will also be updated
first, and packages will always be updated, even if there is no
difference between the old and the new packages.
bsd.port.mk(5)
FORCE_UPDATE User settings. If set to `Yes', the update target will
always update an installed package, as soon as its signature differs,
and all dependencies that install packages will also force an update.
If set to `hard', the update target will also update installed packages
even when the signature did not change.
Cheers,
Markus
