No, they actually handle it ok. It _is_ confusing to the users, however
(and, if you go through a raw list of package binaries, You Just Have To
Know which one's which.)

So, which package the following command will install?

$ pkg_add -r hydra

Ah, it uses NO_LATEST_LINK. So the answer is `none'. Sorry.

Yeah, but I had to look it up myself.

Do you know of any other examples that are missing either CONFLICTS or
NO_LATEST_LINK?

I'm not sure what you mean by `either ... or' here but I don't think you
can substitute CONFLICTS with NO_LATEST_LINK. As for missing CONFLICTS
there are too many to check, I've stopped after finding following

net/ttt, games/ttt - both install bin/ttt but only games/ttt has CONFLICTS
chinese/vflib, japanese/vflib - have similar PLIST and no CONFLICTS
lang/gawk, japanese/gawk - bin/gawk, no CONFLICTS
math/surf, www/surf - bin/surf, no CONFLICTS
