Playing a little with /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS, I found some CONFLICTS, 
for example:

pkg_info: both coreutils-6.9_3 and firebird-server-2.0.3_2 claim to have 
installed /usr/local/bin/gstat
pkg_info: both teTeX-base-3.0_14 and texinfo-4.11 claim to have 
installed /usr/local/bin/texi2dvi
pkg_info: both teTeX-base-3.0_14 and texinfo-4.11 claim to have 
installed /usr/local/bin/texi2pdf
pkg_info: both emacs-22.2_1 and texinfo-4.11 claim to have installed 
/usr/local/info/info.info
pkg_info: both open-motif-2.2.3_5 and tcl-8.4.19,1 claim to have 
installed /usr/local/man/man3/Object.3.gz

CONFLICTS could be introduced for:
sysutils/coreutils and databases/firebird2-server
print/teTeX-base and print/texinfo
editors/emacs and print/texinfo
x11-toolkits/open-motif and lang/tcl84

Anyhow, this would break a few things -- at least:
math/maxima depends on x11-toolkits/open-motif and lang/tcl84
print/lilypond builddepends on print/teTeX-base and print/texinfo

I think I have found more in my installed packages, especially with 
links. Before I investigate them, I wonder if it is worse it:

Should all CONFLICTS be documented?

Should I report my findings to the maintainers (directly)?

Cheers,
Jan Henrik
