Been using HB and MP side by side for the past year and a half...had zero problems with it. I mainly use homebrew for stuff I either can't find on MP, or that has been problematic for installation or upgrading on MP eg:emacs, sbcl, etc...I find HB to be more flexible than MP in finding and installing the formulae that I need that MP just doesn't have. That being said, I don't think there's any overlap between the formulae I've installed using HB and the ports I've installed in MP, except for ImageMagick, and a duplicate version of python37, which HB conveniently installed in /usr/local/bin/python3, so there's no conflict between HB and MP. I have a version of emacs installed with HB that works quite well with a version of gnuplot I installed on MP. The ImageMagick installed by HB is a dependency for the emacs-plus formula, and the ImageMagick installed by MP is a dependency of the Octave language. My HB is installed in /usr/local and MP is installed in /opt/local, and they seem to live peacefully side by side. I've experienced zero compatibility issues as of yet.
