 ( This would be a question for ports@ )

Ports do not conflict if having different PREFIX. You don't need (and
don't want) to play with DISTNAME.

You will want to pay attention to LOCALBASE also, for dependencies
checking (PREFIX is where the ports installs, LOCALBASE is where it
checks for dependencies; see Porters Handbook and bsd.ports.mk. for
details).
