>Description:
in mail/mailgraph package for example, there is
DEPENDS+= rrdtool>=1:../../databases/rrdtool
but this will install rrdtool 1.3.x
in my opinion, the rrdtool version could be configurable (1.3 or 1.2 which is not depends on X11)

It mean both acceptable, just resolve dependency from source with databases/rrdtool if not intalled.
You can preinstall rrdtool-1.2.x or downgrade rrdtool to 1.2.x after installation.

...that is not the best approach because any automated upgrade will
send it right back to 1.3 (or these days, 1.7).
Given that the old rrdtool continues to hang around and not depending
on X is a reasonable reason to keep it indefinitely, it is probably
time to set up a switch for this.
