Doesn't/shouldn't coreutils install /opt/local/bin/gsu and not /opt/local/bin/su? For me, at least:

[%] port contents coreutils | grep su$
  /opt/local/bin/gsu

I installed coreutils with_default_names and do have gsu installed, not /opt/local/bin/su. 

white:~ root# file /opt/local/bin/su
/opt/local/bin/su: cannot open (/opt/local/bin/su)
white:~ root# port upgrade heimdal                   
--->  Activating heimdal 0.7.2_0
Error: Activating heimdal 0.7.2_0 failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/su is being used by the active coreutils port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

Sounds like heimdal is reading a file list or manifest that doesn't reflect reality.
