It's not ignoring it for -a (update).
Kind of funny though why this functionality exists if pkg_install
doesn't even check it. I've gotten a lot of noise similar to that
related to homegrown packages I've dealt with at work when running
pkg_add // pkg_create as it builds up package origins when it reads
the contents of the plists -- not sure why a ports-ism made it into
pkg_install though, but flz most likely knows why.

This I don't know (and is potentially a bug or a needed
enhancement with portmaster). dougb would be able to fill you in on
this.
