>Description:
Currently emulators/qemu installs a bin/qemu-ga program, and consequently conflicts with sysutils/qemu-guest-agent.

This is silly; there's no reason to install qemu-guest-agent on a host-only system, so the conflict is essentially spurious.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to install qemu and qemu-guest-agent at the same time
>Fix:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --disable-guest-agent
