I have already had both net-mgmt/nagios12 and net-mgmt/nrpe marked for 
deletion, both being scheduled for removal on or after the 17th (next 
Friday).

See http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/132716.

Once the port has been removed this confusion should go away.  The reason 
the FreeBSD ports build adds a 2 to the end of everything was to allow 
parallel installs of the old and new clients so Nagios 2.x servers could 
still communicate with NRPE 1.x hosts.
