(The Ubuntu /etc/alternatives symlink system and other mechanisms solve this well)
That hasn't been my experience but then I'm not a big fan of symlinks which can't be safely modified outside of the (d)pkg system. As a general rule you want to avoid such unnecessary layers of abstraction where possible.
* if the user's port configuration options aren't different from the package defaults, ask the user if they want to use the package instead (with global and per-port knobs to stop asking if the user desires).
Can't really see much use for this. Those of us building from source know when we can install a binary and nobody really wants to be held-up by another prompt.
