I agree, but there is a consistency problem, different systems WILL
behave differently, for a good reason though :)

Anyway for sbruno, I forgot to mention, you could add this:

to the relevant make.conf file and it should always use that one, except
for ports that explicitly request another version. Could be helpful in
your case.
