Yes I would imagine the names are changed to avoid conflicts. But it's been that way ever since the port was first added in r14861 over seven years ago. It does seem like the variant descriptions (which were added in r35330) should show the correct filenames. Note that you can always discover what files a port installs by using e.g. "port contents openmpi".

  • Ticket #38319 – Description

    initial v1  
    11The standard names for executables from OpenMPI are mpif90, mpif77, mpicc, mpirun, mpiexec. However, the ones provided by the openmpi port are all prefixed with "open", i.e. openmpif90 etc. I suggest this should be made clear somewhere in the port description, or alternately use the standard names (maybe the names were chosen to avoid conflict with mpich). I only discovered the actual names by reading through some tickets about this port. For example, the 'variants' output lists specifically the standard names, which are NOT the ones created by the port.

    1718   valgrind: enable valgrind support
