New description:

 poppler 0.10.1 cannot be installed simultaneously with xpdf 3.02
 because there are many files that both ports try to install.

 poppler advertises itself as "based on the xpdf code base".
 If so, it should depend on xpdf instead of installing some of
 xpdf's files itself. Better yet, create an xpdf-tools port that contains
 the files common to both.

 The list of conflicting files is:
 {{{
 /opt/local/bin/pdffonts
 /opt/local/bin/pdfimages
 /opt/local/bin/pdfinfo
 /opt/local/bin/pdftoppm
 /opt/local/bin/pdftops
 /opt/local/bin/pdftotext
 /opt/local/share/man/man1/pdffonts.1.gz
 /opt/local/share/man/man1/pdfimages.1.gz
 /opt/local/share/man/man1/pdfinfo.1.gz
 /opt/local/share/man/man1/pdftoppm.1.gz
 /opt/local/share/man/man1/pdftops.1.gz
 /opt/local/share/man/man1/pdftotext.1.gz
 }}}
