Comment (by egall@…):

 This is because binutils and gdb are both built from source trees that are
 so similar that they are basically the same. The upstream repository
 actually combines their names and is just called "binutils-gdb". I have
 local copies of the binutils and gdb Portfiles in my own local Portfile
 repo that I had to modify heavily to keep them from conflicting, but I
 think a better approach for trunk would be to combine them into a single
 port, or to make one a sub-port of the other.
