Moved ports not being handled

Recently, portmaster kept wanting to upgrade these three ports:

graphics/libcdr01
graphics/libfreehand
print/libmspub01

It succeeded in rebuilding them every time, but always saw them as 
needing to be upgraded.  Checking the output showed this:

    ===>>> The graphics/libcdr port moved to graphics/libcdr01
    ===>>> Reason: Replaced by newer version

    ===>>> The graphics/libfreehand00 port moved to graphics/libfreehand
    ===>>> Reason: Replaced by newer version

    ===>>> The print/libmspub port moved to print/libmspub01
    ===>>> Reason: Replaced by newer version

The old versions were still installed, so each time an upgrade was 
performed with portmaster, it saw the old version and reinstalled the 
new version.  After realizing this, it was easy enough to just pkg 
delete the old versions.

Is an entry in UPDATING needed for these, or should portmaster handle 
them automatically?
