Has there been tribal conflict, or is any tribal conflict ongoing? I know of possible conflicts within tribes but I have not heard about tribes fighting others.
Bearing in mind the miqo'te are (by lore, anyway) relatively rare in Eorzea, and that it's a big place, and as a result the tribes and their branches are likely fairly spread out -- tribal conflicts have happened, as taking territory by force from another tribe is an acceptable way to become the nunh of that territory (Fernehalwes dev post).
Beyond that, I'd suggest that any conflict between tribes is largely on a personal level. It's possible that, say, a Coeurl branch and a Viper branch in close proximity and with a penchant for violence might regularly battle over territory. As a result, PCs of those branches might hold contempt for members of the other tribe, regardless of their branch. However, that wouldn't be true of all members of the tribe, or even all members of that branch. In fact, if such an inculturated Viper were to start lobbing insults and threats at a random Coeurl, the reaction would probably be one of surprise -- "Why is this random miqo'te making insinuations about the heritage of my mother, and suggesting that she's a prostitute?"
