 Here's another possibility that could avoid messing with pkg-plist:
 We add a knob, say WITH_DRIVER_OVERWRITE or some such silly name to 
 x11-servers/mga_hal so anybody that installs this would have to set it and 
 thus would know that it overwrites files of (XFree86-4|xorg)-server port (it 
 prints a nice message explaining this of course if this is not set by marking 
 port IGNORE). Then, we mark add CONFLICTS to -server ports so users are 
 reminded that they have to uninstall and then reinstall x11-servers/mga_hal 
 after upgrading -server port as files will be overwritten with Xorg/XFree86 
 driver.
 
 How does this sound?
