How?  Unless the ports include the creation of the symlink (which they
shouldn't), then there is no problem anymore.

You install nvidia-gl port, you get libGL-nvidia.so installed.

You install mesa-gl port, you get libGL-mesa.so installed.

You run the "alternatives" script to create the symlink (or manually
create it, or tweak a knob somewhere to create it), and then never
touch it again.

Update nvidia-gl port, only libGL-nvidia.so gets updated.  The symlink
doesn't change.

Update mesa-gl port, only libGL-mesa.so gets updated.  The symlink
doesn't change.

Where's the problem?
