cd /port/directory
edit Makefile and change the version from 2.3 -> 2.0.6
edit distinfo and change version there too.

then

portupgrade -f portname

It will actually downgrade it.

I am not quite sure how this blends with the related libraries but it
does work. I've used it but mostly during minor version changes, not
the major version change like you have.

Why don't you deinstall the 2.3 and install 2.0.6 though?
