Bringing SUB-PACKAGES to ports

[blubee blubeeme]

Does flavors allow build/test multiple packages based on multiple python
versions and multiple architectures and different options?

Flavors is a good step in the right direction but there are people with a
lot more experience with way more complicated build systems than FreeBSD.

I provided some links for you guys to take a look at. "We already have
flavors" is a very arrogant answer that totally misses the point of my
email.
