Most of the newer Netgear routers will automatically change their LAN subnet if they detect a conflict with the WAN subnet.
With respect to fixing IP address conflicts, DHCP is already designed to avoid conflicts. The protocol is not perfect but there isn't very much that the DHCP server on the router can do. A DHCP server would need the capability to force a device to change IP addresses but the DHCP protocol lacks this capability.
What kind of port or DNS conflicts are you thinking of?
