In case of multiple ports installing files with same name at same path, then
one of them needs to alter the file names by using suffix or prefix, like GNU
projects do when they collide with BSD equivalents by using 'g' as prefix.

I don't think that prefixing gnu tools is good example.
For example we have native make in /usr/bin and gmake
in /usr/local/bin.And native make is in base system, and
gmake is a port.

So why CONFLICTS needed then for?

And is this ok to have two ports with the same name. I've
searched Porters Handbook for this, but found nothing (i think
it pretty obvious to mention it in docs).
What if want to remove one of then, or update. Which one
will be removed/updated?

Please don't get me wrong, just curious.
