So, I made an attempt on my poudriere box, package builds - 
powerdns-backend-sqlite3, just includes the .so and the schema in plist 
however pkg says it conflicts.  My interpretation from the handbook is 
that the % option stuff in plist is only used if that option is 
selected, so I can't see why powerdns (without any backends) and my 
slave port would conflict... I used mysql server/client ports as a base:

Makefile :-

PORTNAME=       powerdns
PKGNAMESUFFIX=  -backend-sqlite3

COMMENT=        PowerDNS sqlite3 backend

MASTERDIR=      ${.CURDIR}/../powerdns

PKGMESSAGE=     mustnotexist
PLIST=          ${.CURDIR}/pkg-plist

OPTIONS_SET= SQLITE3

.include "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile"

pkg-plist :-

%%LUA_LIBDIR%%/pdns/%%LUA_LIBDIR%%gsqlite3backend.so
%%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/dnssec-3.x_to_3.4.0_schema.sqlite3.sql
%%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/nodnssec-3.x_to_3.4.0_schema.sqlite3.sql
%%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/schema.sqlite3.sql

I also made powerdns port not have PGSQL set by default.

Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
