Comment (by ewenmcneill):

 Apparently I'm not the only one who has ended up with `libev` and
 `libevent` both installed as dependencies (of `lighttpd` and `tmux`
 respectively) :-(

 The original requesters suggestion of putting the ''one conflicting file''
 in its own package which is ''optional'' (install for compatibility), and
 having ''just that compatibility package'' conflict with `libevent` seems
 much less disruptive than just making `livev` and libevent` conflict with
 each other to avoid renaming a file (in a way that it has been renamed in
 MacPorts for years).

 Alternatively, if `libev` and `libevent` are intended to somewhat
 interchangable, perhaps it'd be plausible to convert one of `tmux` and/or
 `lighttpd` to use the ''same'' library?  (But that sounds like more work
 than just reducing the scope of the conflict to a manageable size.)
