pkgng doesn't handle MOVED yet and having a unique identifier for for package
would simplify 90% of the move cases.
Plus ${ORIGIN}_${SUBPACKAGE} is fragile because you can have a port which is:
lang/mylang with a subpackage bla which will give lang/mylang_bla
and a port lang/mylang_bla with no subpackage which will give lang/mylang_bla
