I was mistaken on this last part due to error masking by a port 
Makefile.  My apologies for wasting your time.

The issue appears to be USES added from within a Uses file don't get 
processed.  Setting USES+= pgsql python:env phpenv from with a port 
Makefile works fine even if FLAVOR-conditional code does it.  Doing the 
same from with a Uses file doesn't result in those added USES getting 
included.
