Keep both.  You see, these are actually two separate ports
(devel/libtool13 and devel/libtool14) and can coexist peacefully with
each other.  (There is actually a devel/libtool15 as well.)
The reason for this is that some ports require libtool13 to work
correctly, while other need libtool14.  Thus both versions are
available at the same time, and some ports depend on one, while some
depend on the other.
