No, the ports collection always did this, until it was recently fixed.
The old behaviour was the following: if you have an version X of a
dependency installed, and the ports collection contains version Y,
where X < Y, then installing a port that depends on this port will
register a dependency on version Y instead of version X that you
actually have.  This is the wrong behaviour and portupgrade will
complain about it.

This was recently fixed..update to -stable and update your ports
collection.
