The origin is used by tools to identify the location in the ports tree that
allows to build a package. With FLAVOR support, knowing the directory is
insufficient to build a package - for that reason the @FLAVOR notation has
been used in a few places already, e.g. in the MOVED file and for dependency
declarations.

The directory is /usr/ports/${origin%@*} in that case, and this stripping of
the FLAVOR is already required and used in e.g. bsd.ports.mk.
With origin@flavor, there is an alternate identifier that is equivalent to
the PKGNAME, and this information is used in port management tools, e.g.
when a port is to be rebuilt for a given PKGNAME.
