Does the ALT_PKGDEP section of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf help ?
(from UPDATING)
Example of ALT_PKGDEP section:
ALT_PKGDEP = {
'www/apache13' => 'www/apache13-modssl',
'print/ghostscript-afpl' => 'print/ghostscript-gnu',
}
This should let you specify in pkgtools.conf
ALT_PKGDEP = {
'sysutils/cdrtools' => 'sysutils/cdrtools-cjk',
}
so any dependancies on cdrtools will be rewritten to use cdrtools-cjk
