You should define CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE when building cups. This will
install cups's lp* programs over the system programs. The easiest
way to do that is to add the following lines to /etc/make.conf:
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/print/cups*}
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=3Dtrue
=2Eendif
Then rebuild and re-install the cups-base port.
To prevent the next system rebuild from undoing this, you should also
add
WITHOUT_LPR=3Dtrue
to /etc/src.conf.
