Forces is crap (and dead in the future pacman-3.5). Bumping the pkgrel should not be an issue given the package probably is frequently updated if it is worth bring to the repos, so it will have a pkgrel of 1 again soon.
Ahh right..force -> epoch. There have been a few cases where the AUR package is pkgrel=n and the repo is pkgrel=k, and the package on the system is not updated along with the move because k=1 or k<=n. Then someone files a bug, which later turns out to be applicable only to the AUR package. So here I would start out with k=n+1, at least until we have a better way.
