Is it correct to use portmaster -o graphics/giflib graphics/libungif

Looks OK to me.

And then rebuild all ports that used libungif.

And thew next question is I have in /var/db/pgs bot giflib and libingif.
How can I find whic one is installed, please? Or are both?

They install files to the same place, overwriting each other. So whichever
one was installed last would be the one that's really installed.

It's not quite that simple.  Both install include/gif_lib.h but the
associated libraries have different names.  If you have both
installed, the most most recently installed will select which
include/gif_lib.h is used but the library used will depend on the
whims of the port's configuration tools.

is they're very similar, so it didn't cause problems. Nevertheless, it's
still a bad idea for them both to be installed, hence the addition of the
conflict between them.

It's very unfortunate that the ports depending on libungif weren't all
cleaned up before the conflict was added.  The current situation is a
mess and, for many people, requires manual intervention to make the
ports system work.

Yes, for example graphics/osg is another candidate ...
