No. The version specified in the SVr4 package is not always correct, and not always in a form that's valid for pkg(5). >> and requires manual update each build.

Any ideas? Yeah. That's a bit unfortunate. I don't think we have any way around that. We've talked about a "human readable" version number that would allow for things like "3.0.4a", and that would allow us to present a version number less than the version in the FMRI, but until that's implemented, I think those packages are out of luck.
