Having multiple mesa versions have been discussed in the past, at least 
when we had KMS and non-KMS graphics at the same time, if memory serves 
me.  The problem has always been that there is no way in the ports 
infrastructure to specify a dependency on one out of many different 
versions of ports, at least to my knowledge.
