I don't know the rules but the aircraft on the ground should have the right of way since they're nowhere near as maneuverable as the airborne plane? At least it seems that way to me. That said, I wouldn't want to approach, land, or go around with a much larger plane departing in my direction. Maybe if you offset by a ton but a whole different direction (90 deg if possible?) would be my preference.
