Sorry, no, it is not a jbpm feature that every time an application (seam in this case) says to deploy a process, it get's deployed. Yes, there has been some discussion to change this. How to prevent versioning is probably not what you mean, you want to know how to prevent deployment of the process each time. This is 'simple' and has been mentioned in the (old) seam forums.Just do *not* auto deploy processes from a seam app, but deploy them in a different way, e.g. an ant task, the jbpm web console or whatever.
