I do not know how links are treated by port activate (and for this
matter port deactivate), but I know that when two ports provide a file
in common, macports does not mess things up except if you tell him to
do.

vim-app provides /opt/local/bin/gvim, which conflicts with 'vim +gtk2'
(or motif or athena or gtk1). Since vim-app (the port) provides the
functionalities of vim (except for its graphical variants), their being
in conflict is not a problem, people do not need to have both active at
the same time.
