  .replace_oldname indeed is empty. Any solution to solve this?

You have to either have the package name match an installed package, or
give an OLDNAME that matches.  See /usr/pkgsrc/mk/flavor/pkg/replace.mk
and the line

        ${_PKG_BEST_EXISTS} "$${wildcard}" > ${_REPLACE_OLDNAME_FILE}

and then go trace this through the definitions.  But if you can say 

pkg_info oldname

and that works, then 

make replace OLDNAME=oldname

will probably be ok.
