Suppose that you have a portA which is a dependency of a lot of other ports.

You also have a portB which is a replacement/update/upgrade for portA.

PortB provides replacements for the executables generated/supplied by PortA but for various reasons you still want to use some of PortA installed items such as libraries, etc.

I tried doing the following:

# pkg install PortA
# cd /usr/ports/xxx/PortB
# make install

Installing PortB...
pkg-static: PortB conflicts with PortA (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/utilityl
*** Error code 70

Is there an option, or a way similar to using 'make FORCE_PGK_REGISTER=YES install'
to force overwriting the conflicting files?
