While making or updating a port, I build and install for each flavour
before testing with poudriere

make FLAVOR=py38 stage-qa install clean
make FLAVOR=py39 stage-qa install clean
make FLAVOR=py310 stage-qa install clean

I find that this doesn't carry through to dependencies so I end up
setting FLAVOR in the env

setenv FLAVOR py310; make stage-qa install clean

and bash would be - export FLAVOR=py310; make install

This also works for non-py flavours

cd devel/binutils
make FLAVOR=aarch64 install
make FLAVOR=arm_none_eabi install
make FLAVOR=mingw32 install

conflicts with python modules happen when installing files into the same
place, such as adding cli commands to ../bin or installing docs, the
concurrent option adds a flavour suffix to resolve most conflicts
