How about adding to 'pkg_info -X' output an information with which
version of python/php/apache the package was built.

In pkg_summary-utils I use the following notation:

  ASSIGNMENTS=PYTHON_VERSION_REQD=23,PKG_APACHE=apache2
  PKGNAME=ap2-py23-python-3.3.1
  PKGPATH=www/ap2-python
  ...
  <other fields here>

ASSIGNMENTS variable allows to easily implement source-based upgrades
without hacks aroung package's name.
