It's strange, because bsd.pkg.mk does not do that anywhere.

No.  This is something specific to the binary tools, not to the package.
With pkgsrc's pkg_install, any of pkg_add {vtwm,vtwm-5.4.7,vtwm-5.4.7.tgz}
will work... even from remote locations!  If you do not specify a version
pkg_add will automatically pick up the latest one.
