Then you have a man page whose name is different from the command it
describes. Of course, sbin/ntpd could be renamed to sbin/openntpd.
But how about ntpd.conf, ntpctl? This just keeps spiralling.
I'll note that net/ntp and net/ntpsec conflict even more with base
ntp. Should those be renamed as well?

When you install security/openssh-portable, do you try "man openssh"?
net/isc-dhcp44-*?
How to deal with ports that install components that have name
conflicts with the base system is a general problem, and there
doesn't seem to be a good solution.
I don't like pkg-message either, but bjk@ suggested it.

If it upsets the status quo too much, I'll happily revert it.
