This would mean that MacPorts can work reliably with homebrew installed.
It would not necessarily mean homebrew would ignore all
MacPorts-installed software. It is, however, a lot easier for homebrew
to ignore /opt/local than it is for MacPorts to ignore /usr/local (which
is why most MacPorts devs don't particularly like homebrew's decision to
use /usr/local): Make sure $PATH doesn't contain /opt/local when using
brew and you should be fine (except for the software that explicitly
tries to find stuff in /opt/local, which should be patched by the
homebrew folks to avoid doing that).
