I have port mongodb44. I want to create 2 flavors of it

uninstall mongodb44 and with it unifi7.
Can I make the 2 flavors to fulfill the pkg dependency of unifi7? So
that it does not matter for unifi7 which mongodb44 pkg is installed as
long as one of them is.
No, the flavor becomes part of the pkgname, so you effectively have two
unique pkgs: mongodb44-default and mongodb44-armv80a. Ports and pkg
haven't yet been taught to allow multiple pkgnames when solving
dependencies.
FLAVORs should really be a last-resort option. Can the default vs.
armv80a decision instead be done automatically based on the value of ARCH?
