What do you refer to exactly? That zgrep is GNU grep and xzgrep is BSD 
grep? I acknowledge that this is not documented but xzgrep is a 
non-standard addition so personally think it is acceptable. Someone 
called my attention to the archivers/xz port that had a wrapper script 
for grep, callled xzgrep. This was installed with the port but is not 
installed in base any more so I got the suggestion to implement it in 
BSD grep and I think it is a better idea than a wrapper script and it 
was easy to support. So with this change, this functionality can be used 
again w/o installing the port although it is not documented.

I don't think they should be updated. From now on, xzgrep and such are 
always created and they always point to BSD grep, which can be 
/usr/bin/grep or /usr/bin/bsdgrep depending on WITH_BSD_GREP. But they 
always exist and point to one or another. I cannot think of any case 
when they should be removed.
