No, I think the other way round doesn't typically make sense. All the cases
I can remember of:
DIST_SUBDIR=${PKGNAME}
were because the distfiles were *unversioned*, thus they had to be
downloaded into a place that disambiguated the files when they changed
[author-specified] version. In every single such case, it really should be:
DIST_SUBDIR=${PKGNAME_NOREV}
I can't think of any cases off the top of my head where the PKGREVISION
*should* be in the DIST_SUBDIR.
