make.conf(5) is your friend. You should be able to add
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=rust1.76
to accomplish your task. NOTE you may want to comment this line later
should it cause problems with other ports that aren't your current target.
IOW your choices here should be chosen carefully and watched closely. It's
easy to set it and forget it. :)
To get the right permutation. Have a look in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk
