Both ports/packages can be used concurrently, however:

+ netcat installs an "nc" executable in /usr/local/bin
- there is no man page for nc, just a README in /usr/local/share/doc/netcat/
+ nedit installs an "nc" executable in /usr/X11R6/bin
- nedit provides an "nc" man page

* I favor seeing netcat install as "netcat" rather than "nc"
  (and adjusting the README accordingly).  Comments?

(Perhaps <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/porting.html>; should
offer guidelines on resolving this sort of conflict?)
