In order to keep pkg-install simple, no old symlink chasing and removal will be done, although the detailed instructions will be posted in ports/UPDATING and in pkg-message for the ports.
How about leaving it up to the installer? Much like the minicom port prompts the user if they would like to symlink a /dev/modem device, why not ask (post-install) "Would you like to make a symlink in /usr/bin to your new installation?" or as someone else has suggested add a make flag (make ADD_SYMLINK=yes).
Those who wish to have an unpolluted /usr/bin can not opt for a symlink, those that want compatibility with a majority of the scripts already written can have the link created.
Just a thought,
