It is a known issue, I have reported to Doug a while back. I have a  
workaround for it by hack in portmaster, but it is not a right solution.  
Someone will have to figure a good solution. However, here's what I hacked  
in portmaster.

========================================
while getopts 'CDFGabdfghilm:nop:r:suv' COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENT ; do
[...]
	F)	ONLY_ME=yes; ARGS="-F $ARGS" ;;
[...]
cd $pd/$portdir

if [ -n "$ONLY_ME" ]; then
	make depends
else
	dependency_check
fi
========================================

I just run -F on specific port that needs it.

As for solution, right now I am thinking about check on each port's  
conflict. Like for example:

	- Check on if devel/bison has any of CONFLICT.
	- CONFLICTS is devel/bison2, then check if
	  devel/bison2 exists.
	- devel/bison2 does exist, then remove the
	  devel/bison out of dependency check list.
	- Check if devel/bison2 needs to update.
	- [...goes on as normal...]

I don't know if it's good idea. Looks like create a database is a better  
solution?
