conflicting dependency

Let's say there are two ports A & B.
They both provide libfoo.so.1 (and so register CONFLICTS with each other).

Now port C wants to use libfoo (and doesn't care if it gets it
from A or B).

What does port C list in it's LIB_DEPENDS?

What if it lists A and someone installs B... does A get registered as
the dependency when C is installed even though A is not installed?

This must have been solved already... I just don't see where.
