Given that tbird people are 'strongly urging' upgrade, I'd say that the
package names should reflect their wishes.  So I'd go for import a copy
as thunderbird15, update main pkg to 2, and tell anyone who's losing
that they can build thunderbird15.  But your way is ok too - the only
people inconvenienced are those who update to thunderbird2 and then want
to use pkg_{chk,rolling-replace}.   But the fix is just pkg_deleting
tbird2 and then building mail/tbird, and that's not bad.
