[--may-exist] add-br bridge
[--may-exist] add-br bridge parent vlan
[--may-exist] add-port bridge port [column[:key]=value]...
[--if-exists] del-port [bridge] port

I can work around the --may/--if not being supported for bridge
add/remove. For port add/remove, it's a bit harder, as I have to
parse the output of list-ports to see if the port exists or not.

There's a distinction between global options and options to a particular
command. These options are for a particular command so you need -- as a
separator:
ovs-vsctl -- --may-exist add-port bf-public bf-public
This is documented near the top of the manpage:
The ovs-vsctl command line begins with global options (see
OPTIONS below for details). The global options are followed by
one or more commands. Each command should begin with -- by
itself as a command- line argument, to separate it from the
global options and following commands. (If the first command
does not have any options, then the first -- may be omitted.)
The command itself starts with command-spe- cific options, if
any, followed by the command name and any arguments. See
EXAMPLES below for syntax examples.
along with examples:
Delete bridge br0, reporting an error if it does not exist:
ovs-vsctl del-br br0
Delete bridge br0 if it exists (the -- is required to separate
del-br's options from the global options):
ovs-vsctl -- --if-exists del-br br0
