all sets are marked as vital to avoid issues with pkg autoremove, and i
don't see any particular reason to change this for set-src specifically.

the issue when attempting to remove a package which is part of a set is
already tracked here: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2517.  this
is supposed to be fixed for 15.0-RELEASE, although i'm not sure if
anyone is actually working on it.  in any case, this affects all sets,
not just set-src, so removing the vital flag from set-src wouldn't fix
the problem.
