Perhaps that "INSTALL ... NO" feature you've added to pkgutils could be used for more than just junk files :)
Good idea, I didn't think of that. README could tell the user about preventing fontconfig of installing the symlinks, if he wants to keep his config. And README should probably contain a bunch of "ln" commands to set up the config as intended by fontconfig's install target.
To me, suggesting to use "INSTALL NO" on a per port level sounds like use flags, which isn't really what I think that particular feature should be about.
If this appears to be the recommended way to handle such problems, I fear people will start to use that all over their ports ("oh, and if you don't want that additional icon theme the port installs and I like just "INSTALL NO" it), which make pkgadd.conf and port installation in general a pain.
You forgot to mention the proper fix.
