I think that option is in pkg_version by default now (e.g. recent
-stable and -current presumably):
root@magnesium:/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all# pkg_version -c | head
#
# bash
# multiple versions (index has 1.14.7,2.03)
#
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2
make
pkg_delete -f bash-2.03
make install
#
..
or were you talking about something else?
