Maybe I am missing something obvious, but, first r384322 bumped the PORTREVISION  due to the update of x265 from 1.5 to 1.6, but handbrake is not dependent  on multimedia/x265. This bump only caused a lot of people to re-build a port with exactly no changes.

Yeah the bump was my fault. I grep'd for multimedia/ ports that referenced x265 and bumped handbrake unnecessarily. Sorry about making you rebuild a port with exactly no changes.

As for the other thing, the procedure you listed is required for any two ports which present build-time conflicts. I agree that the process is opaque.

Picking up a system library when you intended to use a local version is a constant headache for complex projects like Handbrake. If that problem affects FreeBSD, it likely affects other platforms as well. Consider reporting it upstream as well.
