Just curious, are your other ports all up-to-date?

I ask, as ilmbase does not conflict with imath: The former is segregated, with contents installed under ${prefix}/libexec/openexr2/. Which suggests that ilmbase is pinned at an earlier version, at least on your system.

Replying to mascguy:

Sorry, I'm mistaken: If you haven't updated your ports in at least a year-ish, then you will indeed encounter this.

And Marcus had this case covered at one point, but I removed it. Argh!

Will re-add the fix later today, if possible.

And sorry for the confusion!
