Yes, that sort of thing seems to be happening a lot lately. I found out
that it often helps if you temporarily uninstall the offending port, then
install the other one and finally reinstall the uninstalled one. Or in
your case:
1. delete dirmngr (remember if it takes anything else with it!)
2. install gnupg;
3. reinstall dirmngr again (as well as anything that got deleted with it).

Hope that helps.

However, considering that this sort of thing occurs commonly these days, I
suspect there must be something wrong in the ports infrastructure. What I
also find somewhat mindboggling is how ports are built, staged and
packaged entirely, only THEN to discover there's a conflict. Couldn't that
have been detected way earlier?
