The problem is that devel/editline/builtin.mk contains:

BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM+=   l:history:edit:${BUILTIN_LIBNAME.termcap}
BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM+=   l:readline:edit:${BUILTIN_LIBNAME.termcap}

These transforms are applied if the built-in library is used, but if the 
user uses PREFER_PKGSRC these transforms never get applied. This is 
inconsistent behaviour for editline, and that's really what should be fixed.
