Comment:

 It's clear that there aren't going to be any future official releases of
 MacFUSE, and we've switched to Fuse4X as the default for new installations
 of fuse ports, so this seems moot now.

 The fuse4x ports are better with respect to the issue described here.
 Unlike the macfuse port, it doesn't install files outside of $prefix, and
 won't install any files in the same place as the standalone installer, so
 they won't try to overwrite each other's files. It's still the case that
 only one kext version can be loaded, so there's a limit to how isolated
 the two versions are, but things should work if both installations are of
 the same version. It will also not conflict with a standalone installation
 of MacFUSE.
