Unless there is a way to deduce that from a port's Makefile, I do not 
see how to implement it?

For example, taking Python packages, it would require downloading the 
distfiles, analyzing their content (for example, sections 
[options.extras_require] in setup.cfg), and looking if there are 
corresponding port flavours (assuming they have been named similarly).

But downloading all ports distfiles would be very long and would consume 
a lot of disk space (with a possible Denial of Service risk, should a 
file system be saturated!).

If there's another simpler way, I would be happy to know about it.

Best regards,
