No, unless port A and port B are different versions of the same software that install their files to the same locations.

For example, if your port requires Graphviz, then the dependency should be written "path:bin/dot:graphviz"; thus either the graphviz port or the graphviz-devel port will satisfy the dependency, since they both provide (different versions of) the dot binary.

What is the specific scenario you're dealing with?
