Disagree. This case really dangerous for users. What happened if you try
install a port with other PREFIX than already installed port with the same
version? You'll lose port information in PKG_DBDIR. And when you'll
deinstall new installed port you'll have got orphan files.
That is user must understand the dangerous and use FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes
for his responsibility.

Sounds good.

I'd like to test this patch properly.
