Forget about LATEST_LINK as the name is confusing.
PKGBASE is the thing (as in eik's latest patch) and it includes 
both PKGNAMEPREFIX *and* PKGNAMESUFFIX. IMHO, that's enough to solve
most (if not all) clash issues.

I believe there should be seperate option files in those case.
If you don't want them separate for some reason then ln(1) is your friend. ;)

I vote for ${PORT_DBDIR}/${PKGBASE} (i.e. no additional directory level).
You can also change permissions on ${PORT_DBDIR} to allow OPTIONSFILE
creation by non-root user.
