The versioning is handled like this:
each ebuild has a name and version in it. I would call the current laby
ebuild laby-1.0.1.ebuild and it would include a line like:
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/synce/${P}.tar.gz"
${P} includes the version number automatically.
When a new version is released someone needs to write a new ebuild, but
as all versioning is handled automatically, this is usually just a
matter of copying the previous one and renaming it to e.g.
laby-1.0.2.ebuild.
portage picks up the new version number from the filename and adjusts
the download URL by virtue of the ${P} variable.
It does rely on you keeping the filenaming consistent and not suddenly
changing from laby-1.0.1.tar.gz to lostlabyrinth-1.0.2.tgz.
