So my question is: How can I make the ports system act as if I had
installed Postfix like this?:

cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix27
make install clean

Is there a way to tell the ports database to "follow" and older version
of Postfix without rebuild the entire port again?


I'm pretty sure you can't do this, *unless* there's someone actually tracking a seperate port on that version. ( i didn't check but it doesn't sound like it from your post).

To stop ports tree updates from clobbering your v27, you'd need to exclude this from your cvssup or whatever you use to update your tree.

portdowngrade will get you back to an arbitrary older version if your tree already has the newer version.
