Hmmm.... it's not so simple as it looks.

The first problem is with those packages that rebuild their info files.
They need to be told to use the new makeinfo, not the one in /usr/bin.

The second problem is of course that even with gtexinfo-4.0 installed
there's no guarantee that the user's path will always select the new
version of 'info' (necessary for reading info files generated by the new
version of makeinfo)

This segment for mk/bsd.pkg.mk is much closer, but as discussed in the
opening comment not perfect....

# this should probably work like pkgtools/pkg_install (i.e. force
# gtexinfo to be installed with LOCALBASE=${PKG_TOOLS_BIN}/.. instead of
# just using the pkgsrc DEPENDS mechanism) because that's the only way
# to be sure the user will always be able to read the resulting
# installed info files.  The system version really is out of date and
# really must be upgraded to keep the new pkgsrc viable on older systems.
