Not on my system:

#pkg_info | grep cups
cups-base-1.1.20.0  The Common UNIX Printing System: headers, libs, & 
daemons
cups-lpr-1.1.20.0   The CUPS BSD and system V compatibility binaries 
(lp* comma
cups-pstoraster-7.07_1 GNU Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to 
non-PS prin


and

#ls /usr/local/bin/lp*
/usr/local/bin/lp               /usr/local/bin/lpq 
/usr/local/bin/lprsetup.sh
/usr/local/bin/lpoptions        /usr/local/bin/lpr 
/usr/local/bin/lpstat
/usr/local/bin/lppasswd         /usr/local/bin/lprm 
/usr/local/bin/lpunlock


I haven't renamed any of these.
