I also see this problem. I am experiencing this on a freshly installed 
system, so no updating of any of the two ports is involved. texi2html 
was installed first and seems to install a couple of init files in 
TEXINFODIR. An installation of texinfo then fails with

===>   Registering installation for texinfo-5.1.20130313 as automatic
Installing texinfo-5.1.20130313...pkg: texinfo-5.1.20130313 conflicts 
with texi2html-5.0_1,1 (installs files into the same place). 
Problematic file: /usr/local/share/texinfo/init/book.init
*** [fake-pkg] Error code 70

although the conflicting file is not listed in texinfo's pkg-plist.
