If possible, ports should not conflict. The way to make them not conflict is not to try to install the same file to the same location from multiple ports. Rename the files or install them to different locations.
There may be places in the code of the project where the files are referenced by name or location which would have to be patched to accommodate the rename or move. And if it is a public file that other ports are expected to use, then that magnifies the problem since they all would need to know about the rename or move as well.
