Conflicting ports as in conflicting versions of the same port?  Portupgrade 
to upgrade ports, make deinstall clean of old version before make install 
clean of new version, and a close eye on /var/db/pkg will all help.

Re conflicts among different ports, I suppose updating the ports index and 
pkgdb -F could be helpful (or is pkgdb -F now less useful or entirely 
useless?).
