 * KDE seems to work just fine with our libjpeg.so.7.0,
 * but since kdesupport provided a jpeg6a distribution,

No, that's the same thing--libjpeg.so.7.0 comes from jpeg6a.  The
ports collection had (unwisely) assigned version numbers "6.0" to the
shared library for jpeg6 before.  When jpeg6a came out with
incompatibilities that forced a major version bump, we had no choice
but to change it to 7.0.

This is just another example why shared library version numbers in
system or ports libraries should always start from "1.0".  If you want
a longer version of the story, please refer to section 18.3 ("Shared
Libraries") of the handbook.
