Sure. And this package exists there. But without an origin to point it back to a port directory, hopefully this package should be completely ignored by '-a'. If you want to play with this particular example on your system, you can grab it from here: ftp://ftp.stalker.com/pub/CommuniGatePro/5.2/ Quite a nice mail server, and installing it doesn't scatter files all over the place so it is quite safe to try installing.
