Congrats on both the new version, and finding the time. :)

I handled this in portmaster by analyzing the CONFLICTS. If a requested
dependency has a CONFLICTS line I check the glob patterns against the
installed ports with pkg_info and keep going if we already have something
installed that will work.
That's not a perfect solution, but it handles all the cases I've seen
personally, or users complained about before that feature was introduced.
hope this helps,
Doug
