IMHO, CONFLICTS are suited for ports which represent same project or forks or
with different options which install files at same places thus can't be
installed side-by-side. e.g. irc/bitlbee and irc/bitlbee-otr, editors/emacs*
ports etc., thats purely my observation.

Well, I don't think its good to have two ports with same name, esp. when they
result in same PKGNAME. To distinguish between similar named ports add a
prefix or suffix to them.

No problems.
