Hmm, that would mean:

ports: Depend on A or B, take whatever is installed. That would also
imply that the api must be the same, which i'm not 100% sure.

Some ports might prefer freeglut (because it has better fullscreen
support appearantly).

packages: Can depend on A or B, but in case A is not available in
$PKG_PATH, install B.

Conflict markers... easy.

Is glut worth that? And is the ports tree/pkg_add that flexible? Marc?
