It is expected, known and used to be like that before pkg. the fact pkg accepted
the reinstall without the deinstall first was a bug in pkg. ports(7) explains
that behaviour.

If someone wants to change that behaviour why not, but it is pretty unsafe to
reinstall without cleanly deinstalling the previous version of a port. (in
particular for upgrades)

one things which could be done is a make upgrade which would run make deinstall
reinstall
