Comment (by raimue):
This could be solved by registering the symlinks created by `port select`
to the corresponding `*_select` port in the registry (the port that
provides the `base` file). The symlinks would then be removed when the
port is deactivated. However, as the symlinks are not part of the port
archive, they would not be restored when the port is activated again. That
would require re-running `port select`.
