I used something like that ages ago when php74 sunsetted
and I had to keep it around while upgrading everything else,
which worked for long enough till the client could schedule
enough downtime for a 74=>81 upgrade.

All my current use case presently though is aimed at applying patches
from bugs.f.o without wrecking my ports tree. Gleb has suggested
a method which appears to work for this particular case. I don't 
consider myself skilled enough to contribute patches though - this
would be only for applying patches to the ports tree downloaded 
in the usual way via git that others had written (and then refreshing 
that tree).
