If you're trying to set up a complete desktop environment (this

to decide
whether you want to use gnome or kde.
Technically, there is no reason why he cannot have gnome and KDE
installed at the same time. LInux distros have been doing this for
years ! If two ports include the same file, then that should be
consider a bug I think ?
This is often a bug, IMHO. I try to file tickets in these cases, like
this one for hicolor-icon-theme vs. kdebase4-runtime:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18936
Unfortunately it was closed as "wontfix".
I don't know Gnome or KDE. It seems to me like they should be able to
install simultaneously. However, they cannot, currently, in MacPorts.
Someone with enough interest in fixing that situation would have to
volunteer to work on it, and coordinate with the existing Gnome and
KDE maintainers.
