I have no opinion about many conflicting rpm ports vs just the latest rpm port vs nobody providing something that lets you just do "-lrpm" vs going all the way and adding "port select rpm".  The easiest solution would seem to be what I suggested the first time, just mark all the rpm ports as conflicting with one another...  I don't use yum or rpm (on mac), I just happened to spot something in the diff that caught my curiosity and confirmed that the ports as they stand have undocumented conflicts.

Thanks,
