Which looks wrong. Applications installed via ports or packages
are usually installed in the /usr/local/ subtree, in this
example, /usr/local/bin/enscript for the binary. All other
places (like /usr/bin) are for OS provided files. There are
few cases where a port can replace an OS part (e. g., CUPS
can overwrite system's lpr commands, bash can be installed
as /bin/bash, even statically linked).

There is probably a -f (force) switch, but you should know
what you're doing when you use such kind of options. Things
can go wrong beyond repair (in ultra-worst case, of course).
