It doesn't prevent it but just makes it very difficult :-(. If the 
conficts message had mentioned the change to it now being part of 
pkg_install rather than just conficts with I'd not have forced 
install of security/audit-packages.

$ audit-packages -V
20070802

from 'uname -v' :- NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 .... Thu Jul 12 15:28

$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/links
$ make readme

Now works ok.
