Looking at the issue more widely, it seems that in ports that
when rust updates, all rust-dependents are also updated to use
that latest version, and I can't see of a way to override it
except to take the local tree back to the 1.76 commit.

Is this the right way?

In bsd.default-versions.mk there is:
###
# Possible values: rust, rust-nightly
RUST_DEFAULT?=          rust

neither option would help in my case
