It's not listed twice.
Here is the whole content of pkg-plist:

include/SDL11/sge.h
include/SDL11/sge_blib.h
include/SDL11/sge_bm_text.h
include/SDL11/sge_collision.h
include/SDL11/sge_config.h
include/SDL11/sge_internal.h
include/SDL11/sge_misc.h
include/SDL11/sge_primitives.h
include/SDL11/sge_rotation.h
include/SDL11/sge_shape.h
include/SDL11/sge_surface.h
include/SDL11/sge_textpp.h
include/SDL11/sge_tt_text.h
lib/libSGE.a
lib/libSGE.so
lib/libSGE.so.0
lib/libSGE.so.0.030809

I can send you the whole port if you wish
