Comment:

 I think this should be fatal so that the user has to remove the version.
 Otherwise, the user might not see the message and will still be confused.

 I'm open to what the message should be.

 {{{
 % sudo port install xboard @4.9.3
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: install ignores the provided version @4.9.3;
 remove it to continue.
 }}}
