>Description:
When creating a package that uses bison as a tool with USE_TOOLS+=bison
and BISON_REQD=3.0 pkgsrc outputs the line:
=> Tool dependency bison>=1.0: found bison-3.8.2

When setting GMAKE_REQD=3.0 for gmake the output is
=> Tool dependency gmake>=3.0: found gmake-4.3

This is as it should be.
BISON_REQD can even be set to 4.0 a version newer than the one released and used in pkgsrc and the the build just continues with the same output line as above. My conclusion is that BISON_REQD has no effect and that something is wrong in pkgsrc/mk/tools/bison.mk .

 Given that bison.mk sets
    BISON_REQD?=            1.875
 probably something else is clobbering it.

 That doesn't appear to be anything in pkgsrc; there's no such
 reference to it in mk/ and only one package sets it itself, and that
 to 3.3.

 Check your mk.conf and other local bits I guess?

 I have been looking a little into this and found that mk/tools/replace.mk has
 the line "TOOL_DEPENDS+= bison>=1.0:../../devel/bison" in the bison
 section. gmake has GMAKE_REQD instead of 1.0 which explains why the version
 displayed for gmake is correct. BISON_REQD has an effect in that if a
 sufficient version is not installed bison from pkgsrc is used and that is
 usually of the latest version. So this can be closed.
