editors/emacs|editors/emacs19|2004-03-20|emacs 19.x moved to a non-default port location
editors/emacs21|editors/emacs|2004-03-20|emacs 21.x moved to default port location

there's no way to tell whether the installed emacs, with origin
editors/emacs, is emacs19 installed before the move or emacs21
installed after the move.  Portupgrade gets confused by this:

root at dwp ~# portupgrade emacs
** No need to upgrade 'emacs-21.3_2' (>= emacs-19.34b). (specify -f to force)

So does porteasy:

root at dwp ~# porteasy -s |& grep emacs
 > emacs-21.3_2 (emacs-19.34b_1)
