I disagree. I am rather comfortable with it and understand the details
of why and how it works, because I've needed it a couple of times.

The proper solution for the problem would be conflicts lines specifying
versions and a dependency resolver that supports suggesting intelligent
solutions:
You have requested port abc. The following operations will make that
happen:
remove port conflicting @1.2.3_4
install port abc @3.4.5_6
