Hello,

frequently when I want to install a port it depends on other ports
which are installed in an older version than the new port thinks it
requires.
I'm not sure whether really all ports that the new one depends on
must be upgraded.
Some ports have 10 or more dependencies. And it takes time to first
upgrade almost all of them.

Is there an means to force installing a port without also installing
the very latest version of port it depends on but which are
installed in an older version?
