It looks to me that the 7.4 dependancy is coming in through the 
postgresql-tcltk dependancy which has in the Makefile

USE_PGSQL=      yes
MASTERDIR=      ${.CURDIR}/../../databases/postgresql74-server

You could monkey around with that and try to get it to use the version 
you desire.  It is possible that there are incompatibality issues 
though.
