No, the sentence should be reformulated to "The port is of the current 
GRASS version 6.3. There are no ports of earlier versions of GRASS."

I have no idea about how QGIS handles these dependencies. This you 
should better ask on the QGIS list. The instructions are about how to 
compile a native windows port of GRASS on its own.
