make delete-old removes old deprecated files, not files that weren't
built because of src.conf options. It definitely will not remove the
lpr binaries from /usr/bin if they exist there.

There already is a proper solution for this: if you want to have LPR
from CUPS, and don't want to use LPR from base, then you set these
settings in make.conf:
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=3Dyes
WITHOUT_LPR=3Dyes

With these, lpr in base will not be built, and print/cups-base will
deactivate any base system lpr binaries that are installed. It's
documented in the FreeBSD CUPS article here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/article.html#PRINTING-CUPS-PORT=
S-KNOBS

Cheers
