rpcgen: should one rename a packaged binary?

Hi,

I need to use "rpcgen -M" for one particular package that I'm trying to create.

But that flag is apparently missing on the binary that's bundled on
macOS, so apparently I need to create a package for rcpgen as well.

See:
    https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47801
    https://lists.apple.com/archives/unix-porting/2005/Nov/msg00003.html

Is it acceptable to package the binary under the same name or should
one rename it?

MacPorts ships many binaries that are renamed (like gmake) and many
that are simply "replaced" (file, python2.7, ...).

Thank you,
    Mojca
