It sounds like you don't want to use the port's version of the
libraries.  If that's the case, you *can* delete the port.  If you
want to be using the port, you could remove the base system's copies
(or overwrite them; I think the port has a knob to do that).

If you want to sometimes use one and sometimes the other, then the
easiest course is probably to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly.
