At least bob and pbulk both work on comparing what is stored in the 
binary package (pkg_info -qb) against the sources you are building from, 
so anything from a simple typo change in DESCR to a pkgrev bump will 
result in a rebuild for that package, as well as any package that 
depends on it either directly or indirectly.

pkgin will always upgrade a package that has changed, regardless of 
whether its version has been bumped or not.

So at least for all of those tools a revbump or not makes zero 
difference, but we still do them for other tools that simply compare 
version numbers, as well as for making it clear to users when a 
particular package has a fix.
