That should be a pretty easy thing to check out.  Just installing GNOME
and KDE on the same machine and then running:

"cat /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS | sort | uniq -d"

would give a list of all potential duplicate files.  Running pkg_which
on those with both prefixes would give you all the conflicts after
screening out generated files.  It's certainly a real issue, but i
double it's all that bad.  It's not as though other projects haven't
solved some version of this.
