Not with the current ports system.  See this mailing list and
the archives for various solutions, such as the NetBSD approach.

With the way we do things now, unless we bump shared library
versions on *every* upgrade of such critical ports (and determining
which ones are critical is a non-trivial, continuing process in
of itself), there's no real means for handling what you need
other than suitable uses of pkg_version -v at regular intervals.
