The problem with using flavors like this is that it basically turns
those ports into leaf ports (as you, e.g., can't install a port that
relies on vim-tiny and install vim-gtk3 at the same time).

We have the same situation with git-lite, git, git-svn, git-cvs...
That's why, e.g., iocage depends on git and not on git-lite (which
would be sufficient), as every time you install normal git, iocage would
get removed from the system.

Subpackages would solve this (but they're not here yet).

One can emulate subpackages by creating subports using MASTERDIR. I did
this for git a while ago (review pending due to lack of resources):
