Comment(by reid@…):

 Well, the functionality here seems to be taken over by libmp4v2 when it
 comes to the libs.  So, there would be no loss in functionality if the
 reinstatement of mpeg4ip didn't include the libraries.

 Personally, I'm just after the mp4creator command line tool that is only
 in mpeg4ip.  Though, I imagine others might be after any other missing
 command line tools.  For me, it's just a matter of restoring lost
 functionality to MacPorts.

 So, I guess that's a long winded version of, yes, for me it would be
 sufficient to restore mpeg4ip leaving out conflicts.  But, I'll point out
 that when I tried to install libmp4v2, there seemed to be some other
 conflicts between these two ports.  libmp4v2 seems to want to install some
 bin's as well (e.g. mp4dump).

 Doing a 'port contents mpeg4ip' and looking in the build directory for
 libmp4v2 opt/local/bin there are two executables that are missing from
 libmp4v2 that mpeg4ip provides.  Namely, mp4creator and mp4videoinfo.  So,
 installing those two binaries should restore full functionality to
 MacPorts.

 If this is possible to do and you do it, it would be greatly appreciated.
