Comment:

 Replying to [comment:7 jmr@…]:
 > So given that your entire terminfo database seems to not be registered
 to any port, this isn't a case conflict. Something in the past either put
 those files there without telling macports about them, or didn't remove
 them when the providing port was removed from the registry. Since
 everything is correctly registered now as far as I can tell, I'm closing
 this ticket. Just delete the conflicting files since they're not
 registered to any port.

 This judgement is not correct.

 The directory structure is this:

 You see that eight directories are "the same" for the average HFS: A-a,
 E-e, L-l, M-m, N-n, P-p, Q-q, and X-x. And therefore files only in these
 directories had to be removed:

 {{{
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/a
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/e
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/l
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/m
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/n
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/p
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/q
 /opt/local/share/terminfo/x
 }}}

 The forcibly removed files certainly were recorded under the directories
 A, E, L, M, N, P, Q, X.

 It /is/ a case problem.
