If I may interject.  It appears to me that the issue is a new port is using 
the name of an old port, thus packages of the old port may conflict with the 
new port.  

However, in this case I do not believe it to be the case:
 - The old port (biology/blast [1]) has a PKGBASE of wu-plast
 - The new port (biology/ncbi-blast [2]) has a PKGBASE of ncbiblast

Since pkg(8) uses the package name (defined in [3] as PKGBASE, which in turn 
is defined at [4] as ) in determining dependencies [5] and, as seen above, 
these differ I think it is safe to assume that these are too completely 
different ports and will not get accidentally confused as the same port by any 
tool, thus PORTEPOCH does not need to be invoked.
