How did you find out that there was a 'replace' target to make? That
source should have been the indication that 'make replace' is
experimental (note on the experiment: Works well for me :-).

I don't think adding a delay, or prompting, would be appropriate, but
perhaps requiring a PKG_EXPERIMENTAL=YES in mk.conf and making
experimental targets require that...
