--- Comment #1 from Conrad Meyer <cem at freebsd.org> ---
For me, 'man autoconf<tab>' tab-completes to autoconf-2.69.  However, I can see
it as a nuisance.  I think the right thing to do is get the ports to install
unversioned man pages -- either as links or just renaming any versioned page.

The idea to automatically detect such issues in ports is not a bad one either,
but it does seem rare enough that maybe we can just fix problems when people
complain.  Anyway -- I don't have a ports bit so I can't really help with those
parts.
