No, these type of warnings are caused by two ports having the same  
name.  In this case, staroffice has a GERMAN port as well.  tcl and  
tk have threaded and non threaded versions and I forget on apr-db42.   
ctriv@ is working on some changes to the mports system where other  
language ports will no longer be in categories and the user will pick  
their preferred language to install.  This will stop the problem with  
language ports.  The other ports should be changed.  Our current  
system can handle ports with the same name, but it is discouraged and  
will not be that way forever.
