Strange behavior with the Nessus package

Have a question regarding Nessus. I am running PC-BSD Edge (I believe the equivalent to Current) on my desktop. I am a recent convert from Linux, so one of my goals was to get all of the functionality I had when running Linux on BSD. (I succeeded. :) )

One issue I am having, however, is that I installed the FreeBSD package (.txz) of Tenable's Nessus version 6.x on my machine. Well, best that I can tell, every time PC-BSD does a snapshot to do updates, Nessus gets reverted from 6.x to 2.2.9_3, which, I believe, is in the repositories. So after the update/reboot, Nessus-6.x gets uninstalled, and the following packages are installed:
Code:
nessus-2.2.9_3
nessus-libnasl-2.2.9_3
nessus-libraries-2.2.9_3
Does anyone know the reason why this would be happening? I asked the PC-BSD folks, and they suggested asking the FreeBSD folk since it appears to be a package behavior issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
