No, unfortunately there isn't. Given that you need root permissions to
install packaged software in any case, it would be impossible to enforce
any selectivity like that.
Besides which, two or more ports installing a file in the same place is
a bug, when those ports might reasonably be installed on the same system
simultaneously. The old pkg_tools were incredibly lax about such
things, so there hasn't been sufficient impetus to clean up such
occurrences.
Cheers,
