Hi,

from /usr/ports/print/cups-lpr/Makefile:

.ifndef CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE
        @${ECHO_MSG} "***"
        @${ECHO_MSG} "You can define CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes in your"
        @${ECHO_MSG} "make.conf to remove base system lpr tools from"
        @${ECHO_MSG} "PATH search. In this case it is recommended to"
        @${ECHO_MSG} "also define NO_LPR=yes, to not write base lpr"
        @${ECHO_MSG} "binaries during next make world"
        @${ECHO_MSG} "***"

That could be a solution to your problem (If I understood it correctly,
that is)

HTH,
Andreas
