Once we have the new ports working it should be trivial for anyone of
us to take care of this renaming part.
And yes, I would somehow rename the existing ports to buildbot-0.8 or
so, and make buildbot whatever the current version is.

Also:
- The buildbot-worker now has a different name than the old
buildbot-slave, so there we won't even have the name conflict (it
would still be nice to provide consistent naming though, so 0.8 suffix
sounds reasonable).
- Most of what's in buildbot would probably be packages as a python
module (I guess?).

We can discuss further once Rajdeep submits the ports. (To Rajdeep:
it's also not a problem to submit what you currently have as a Draft
PR.)
