They don't /have/ to be something that can be installed in parallel. 
Different flavours of the same package can conflict with each other. 
Look at the editors/emacs port for a nice little self-contained example.

The majority of flavoured packages do support parallel installs, but 
that's because they're mostly python modules and python allows multiple 
versions of itself to be installed concurrently.
