note the bit about "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER". it's used to force the
installation on already installed port.
so, as th message says, either make it environment variable; in
sh-like shelles, it's done via...
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes
export FORCE_PKG_REGISTER
...or spcify it on the command line, like...
# make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER install
