How would you install a port that had dependencies that were older than identical items on your system?
For example, you install portx that requires depend1.1 -- you have depend1.2 on your system. Running 'make install clean' will generate an error code stating that you have an OLDER version -- despite the fact that you actually have a newer version. I believe this is simply because version numbers don't match. 'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER' will install and register the older version as well as the newer version. THis is less than desirable behavior. I looked through the ports man page to find a variable that would ignore dependencies. If such a variable exists would the port most likely still run (assuming all dependencies are present albeit newer versions)?
