Section 4.9 of the Porter's Handbook says:

    Packages' names should be enumerated the
    same way they appear in /var/db/pkg.

To me, "enumerated" simply means "listed" or "counted".  What do you mean?

The package names listed in CONFLICTS should
  A) include some part of the version number.
  B) appear in the same order [alphabetical] as /var/db/pkg.
  C) use the package name as opposed to the port origin name.
  D) A and B but not C   :-D

Thanks!
Eric
