switching from ports to pkg -- mailman group mismatch

One is that when pkg sees a package installed with options other than the 
default, it tries to reinstall the default version.  Since the reason I 
build ports with custom options is that the default doesn't work for me, 
that just breaks things.

The other is that when you have several ports that install approximately 
the same thing, such as the various forks of mysql, pkg often decides to 
install something that smashes an existing package.  I have 
percona56-{server,client} installed, and every time I try pkg upgrade, it 
wants to install mysql55-client, which would break percona.  The 
dependencies in the ports work, so I don't know why pkg gets it wrong.
