Actually, Todd ran through rings to get bsd.pkg.mk to call pkg_create(1)
with a -C flag only if pkg_create supports -C:

.if defined(CONFLICTS)
# Only use -C if the pkg_create command supports it.
__PKG_CMD_C__!= ${PKG_CMD} -C 2>&1 | /usr/bin/egrep 'illegal option' ; echo
.if (${__PKG_CMD_C__} == "")
PKG_ARGS+=              -C "${CONFLICTS}"
.endif
.endif
