Yes, that's my difficult decision in this upgrade. I understand you
care about existing users not to violate POLA, but I basically choose
this way for new users. :-(
If "gpg" binary consumer is ports-installed one and have explicit
dependency on its Makefile, "portupgrade -R gnupg" will install
security/gnupg *AND* security/gnupg1. But if is is not from ports,
just only users from command line or have implicit dependency (like
mail/mailcrypt which I'm using), only "gpg2" binary is exist after
portupgrade.
I have no clue about last problem for now (only pkg-message or
UPDATING). This maybe critical for casual portupgrade users.

I appreciate Doug's work of course. This thread is just which option
we choose from possible ways. And mainly caused my lack of
explanation.
