teTeX installs a copy of dvips; that's why you get a conflict error.
The dvips port is primarily for systems that wish to use dvips without
the TeX baggage.

The dvips with teTeX should be the same as the dvips port version; it
works fine for me. If you have a problem with it, perhaps you should
describe the error to the list.

Cheers.
