Ok.. one is named multimedia/dragon  the other is devel/dragon -- last 
time I checked, multimedia/ != devel/ -- so where is the collision?

Do you mean for packages only? With the new binary packing system, the 
preferred way to call packages is by their category/port name. IE: "pkg 
install devel/dragon" will install that one, whereas "pkg install 
multimedia/dragon" will install the kde media player named Dragon
