In fact, you cannot even download the port sources in such a case, e.g:
$ make -C /usr/ports/net/samba44 fetch
===> samba44-4.4.14 conflicts with installed package(s):
samba46-4.6.4
They install files into the same place.
You may want to stop build with Ctrl + C.

Yes, this is apparently one of the reasons lang/rust even conflicts with
*itself*. There seems to be something very broken in its build process,
so that it cannot build correctly if any of its files are installed on
the system.
That said, things like this could probably be solved by adding separate
CONFLICTS_BUILD, CONFLICT_FETCH and so on, but it makes it all rather
complicated.
