Do you have up-to-date ports tree? Recursive version keeping in a
dependent builds is added recently into bsd.python.mk and python
modules that have same origin are co-exist even on my pkgdb too.

% ls -d /var/db/pkg/py2*-cjkcodecs*
/var/db/pkg/py21-cjkcodecs-1.0.2/  /var/db/pkg/py23-cjkcodecs-1.0.2/
/var/db/pkg/py22-cjkcodecs-1.0.2/

But we need to register py22-*, py21-* ports to HOLD_PKGS of
portupgrade, because there's no mechanism to keep build-time
environment variables on pkgdb.
