Never mind, the deactivate hack is for deactivating a port with a different 
name.

For conflicts with past versions of the same port, I have only encountered 
conflicts_build with just the port or subport name, without any checks for 
which version is active, plus a comment about what error is seen if the port is 
active while building.
