The default settings are a ports tree setting not a pkg setting. for now the
ports are hardcoding the required version into the packages, this is a legacy of
the old system, noone has yet been working on this. so beside building your own
packages with poudriere (which will define the default you want) righ now there
is no way to avoid that.

The php case but not only php will require small changes in pkg(8) to activate
smart dependencies: depend on a>1<=2.10 and also adding provides/requires (this
is not very hard to be added in pkg.) and it should also require heavy changes
on the port side!

As far as I know noone has been working on those changes in the port side. the
pkg(8) changes are mostly pending for real use cases in the port side. Meaning
both should be coordinated.
