Having tried it myself now, I see:

--->  Installing lesstif @0.95.2_1+universal
--->  Activating lesstif @0.95.2_1+universal
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/ 
bin/mwm is being used by the active openmotif port.  Please deactivate  
this port first, or use 'port -f activate lesstif' to force the  
activation.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

So yes, both ports install the same file, so the ports should be  
marked as conflicting with one another, and you can only have one or  
the other.
