 > Actually I notice that mpich conflicts with openmpi so only one can be
 installed at a time, so it's not clear that the names need to be different
 for that. However, the port "lam" does not conflict with openmpi, so
 perhaps that is a better reason.

 No, there is no specific reason for it besides neglect. lammpi is decrepit
 and should be replaced_by openmpi. Ideally, we should have a 'port select
 mpi …' but that would probably involve switching the mpi ports to
 subports. Any thoughts from other devs on that?
