The texlive-base and ps2eps ports conflict because both install the following files: bin/bbox bin/ps2eps man/man1/bbox.1.gz man/man1/ps2eps.1.gz These ports should be flagged as conflicting. There don't appear to be any ports that depend on print/ps2eps. Other than some HTML and PDF documentation, the ps2eps port doesn't install anything that isn't included in texlive-base, so it is safe for a user who runs into this conflict to deinstall ps2eps.
assign to hrs@ (maintainer of texlive-base) and notify maintainer of ps2eps
If I look in the pkg-plists of both ports and in the Makefile this conflict still exists.
