No big objection to that, but personally I'd only do this if either 1. the port will actually build with the older version but produce broken results, or 2. there's a messy situation such that two different versions of the same named library exist and you need to distinguish between them (as with databases/db). Otherwise it's just extra cognitive load when updating or syncing wantlib, and it's easy for a future update to a port to need something added in a newer library version (typically nobody updates them later when this happens so the version check becomes meaningless).
