As far as MacPorts is concerned, I assume it should be mostly OK if
you temporarily move HomeBrew's folder to a different location when
building any new port. Exceptions might occur for formulas that put
stuff outside of /usr/local, but I have no clue when this might be
(MacPorts does occasionally put files outside of /opt/local, in
particular for app bundles, some TeX packages, startup items, libc++
on <= 10.6 etc.) and in most cases it should not influence the builds.
