Its been done before, when the abiword ports got switched around, and
refered to in the *-dev mailing list.

Citando Ryan Schmidt :
This message is relevant to anyone using ports that until now
depended on
the render port:
* cairo / cairo-devel
* gthumb
* gtk2
* libgdiplus
* rxvt-unicode
* wine / wine-devel
* xrender
The render port has been replaced with the xorg-renderproto port.
They
are the same software; the latter is just a newer version. So we are
removing the render port.
Don't we have a better way of dealing with port name changes (or
similar
issues)? This change creates two conflicting ports, if one of the
dependents is not updated, it will mean some ports (potentially half
of
the ports related to X) won't be installable.
Isn't it possible to update render to a pseudo newer version that
has no
file but depends on xorg-renderproto? Or else to have some kind of
"superseding" mechanism?
Best,
Emmanuel
