The instances where I've seen such errors are (a) when packages need to be updated before installing a new package, as dependencies are out of date; or (b) when two or more packages install the same file(s) to the same location(s). Looks like valgrind and valgrind-devel are two versions of the same package. In fact, it looks like they're virtually, if not actually identical--I'm not sure why both are in the ports tree. [1] Short answer: You can only install one or the other, but you'd only need one of them.
