I committed a diff which merge things together and adds the required
conflict/pkgpath markers. (going the other direction and splitting
ft2nfdump off to a separate package we'd need conflict markers there,
and also a way to inform existing users how to update, e.g. in our
release notes etc...doesn't seem worth it to save installing a <1M
package).

Also compared to your diff,

- fix library dependencies for libnffile
- regenerate patches ('make update-patches')
- generate PLIST files with 'make plist' which maintains the
expected sort order
