My goal was to get the idea across.  As for an actual implementation:

1.  We could rename bsd.port.mk to something else and add the version
checks in the 'new' bsd.port.mk, followed by a .include for the real
bsd.port.mk.

2.  Wrap the actual content of bsd.port.mk in the else block of an if
block.  In this case, the if block would be our version checks.

I'm sure there are also other possibilities, these were just those that
came to mind.
