Yes, this comes up a lot. This is part of the ongoing effort to make all
PKGNAMEs unique. Once that is done, pkg will track by PKGNAME instead of
origin and this problem goes away as it will find only
1 version of subversion when you type 'pkg install subversion'.

The plan is to get that in for pkg-1.3.
