Comment (by egall@…):

 Added an entry in the FAQ on the wiki about this:
 [wiki:FAQ?action=diff&version=129 version 129]

 Although that only addresses this point from the OP:
 > - -devel ports install software in the same places as their non-devel
 counterparts, so that -devel ports can satisfy a dependency via the same
 files as the equivalent non-devel port, with the side-effect that you
 cannot have both the -devel and the non-devel port activated at the same
 time

 So I suppose it could be updated to address the rest, as well...
