What is the particular scenario that the new conflicts handling broke

then it's better to override LOCALBASE to /nonex or something similar,

Pav, I'm the OP, and described the problem in the first post. To recap,
though, say I want to upgrade from the databases/mysql50-client port to
databases/mysql51-client. Without taking extra steps such as using
-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS or removing the CONFLICTS definition from the
Makefile, I can't even start downloading the distfiles (using "make
fetch") until I pkg_delete the old version. With the old system, I could
do everything up through building the new port so that the time between
running pkg_delete and "make reinstall" is minimized.
