Assuming that by "latest version" you mean the version currently in
unstable - i.e. 1:3.69-1 - then it already has an exception by virtue of
being in unstable at the time of the freeze.

phylip (1:3.68-2 to 1:3.69-1)
    Maintainer: Debian Med Packaging Team 
    Section: non-free/science
    334 days old (needed 10 days)
    Ignoring block request by freeze, due to unblock request by freeze-exception
    out of date on armel: phylip (from 1:3.68-2)
    out of date on powerpc: phylip (from 1:3.68-2)
    Not considered

Adam
