Yes and no. :) You should really remove the old a.out ones before installing the ELF ones, IMHO. However you can do something like this: make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=YES install and the new ELF port will write itself over the old a.out one. Beware if you take step two you will leave some old a.out cruft around that's just wasting space. You will also mess up the dependencies I think.
