Your suggestion amounts to saying that only one port can satisfy = a > dependency for another port, which is not the case. You're correct as far as the ports goes, but not when you're dealing with precompiled packages. Once you've built the package, the dependency on the specific version of the other port is baked into it. That's something which is likely to change in the not too distant future, but it's going to mean some fundamental changes in the ports in order to bring about. At the moment, therefore, the advice for pkg users when you want to make customizations like eg. using a different version of postfix is to set up your onw instance of poudriere and build your own.
