ffmpeg already has but the dependency is missing, so the option is hidden.
Such potential dependencies are exposed during updates as part of looking
through upstream build glue changes but packaging them is outside of scope.

multimedia/ffmpeg/Makefile:
  .if !exists(${.CURDIR:H:H}/net/srt)
  # https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/commitdiff/a2fc8dbae853
  OPTIONS_EXCLUDE+=	SRT
  .endif

Sorry, not interested.
