Surely /etc/services isn't the only file where this is a problem.  Do  
we not have some
kind generalized reference counting mechanism that says on pkg_delete  
"ref count
reached 0 && entry/line was added by pkgsrc then delete"?

Maybe if such a mechanism doesn't exist one should since this must be  
fairly
common.  Before anyone chimes in with the "oh are you offering" no, I  
haven't time :)
