Does the ALT_PKGDEP section of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf help ?

(from UPDATING)
 Example of ALT_PKGDEP section:
  ALT_PKGDEP = {
    'www/apache13' => 'www/apache13-modssl',
    'print/ghostscript-afpl' => 'print/ghostscript-gnu',
  }

This should let you specify in pkgtools.conf

ALT_PKGDEP = {
    'sysutils/cdrtools' => 'sysutils/cdrtools-cjk',
}

so any dependancies on cdrtools will be rewritten to use cdrtools-cjk
