(PLEASE STOP CC to ME, I've just want to said, "TNF pkgsrc build machines 
should build
 binary packages for 5.1.2 instead of 5.0.2"!)

I wondered we may define default acceptable patterns,
for example, NetBSD:

ABI_COMPATIBLE_VERSION?= ${OS_VERSION:C/([0-9]*\.[0-9]*).*/\1/}*
PKG_ACCEPTABLE_PLATFORM?= ${OPSYS}-${ABI_COMPATIBLE_VERSION}-${MACHINE_ARCH}

Then, we can additionally put following pkg's Makefile currently depending on 
pkgtools/osabi:
PKG_ACCEPTABLE_PLATFORM= ${OPSYS}-${OS_VERSION}-${MACHINE_ARCH}
For document only packages:
PKG_ACCEPTABLE_PLATFORM= *-*-*

Of course, PKG_ACCEPTABLE_PLATFORM must be included in binary package, and 
package
related tools must handle it properly.
