The gtk2 package is named deadbeef-gtk2-0.5.6, so it isn't considered as a replacement for deadbeef-0.5.5, so pkg_add -u doesn't consult the deadbeef-gtk2 package at all to even see the @pkgpath line. One thing that could be done would be to name the -main package something like deadbeef-core-0.5.6, name the -gtk2 package deadbeef-0.5.6, remove @pkgpath in PLIST-main, add @pkgpath in PLIST-gtk2, and add @conflicts as necessary. More than this would need Quirks.pm to be able to do version comparisons rather than the fast hash lookups, but doing those checks for every updated package will slow down pkg_add -u ..
