sundials and sundials2 conflict. Decide which one you want and deactivate the other (and any ports that depend on it).

As with many older, non-maintainer ports, it's easy enough to eliminate the conflict between them. Someone simply needs to do the work.

I'll add it to my backlog, unless someone else is interested in taking this on ASAP.

In terms of port best practices, it might be good for us to promote the idea of basic isolation: Installing headers and libs into a subdirectory based on the major version of the upstream project, for example. Along with including a major version suffix for binaries.
