I have found that pkgmove causes more problems than it's worth. For
example you can't be sure that the user actually has the right
/usr/share/${PN} unless you depend on a version that jcs-bin didn't have
and people can't be expected to know this a year from now etc. pkgmove's
are useful for pure applications though were it doesn't matter if we
have Portage thinking you have ${PN} installed but the files in the
system are ${PN}-bin.
