What do you think about having numerous versions of ffmpeg in ports,
similar to lang/python?
I guess the obvious question is how could it be possible for multiple
ffmpeg versions to be installed at the same time? Is it possible to ensure
the files do not overlap, and that each package is linking against the
correct installed version?

Probably speaking out of turn, but we do have ffmpeg0 and ffmpeg in ports
now. For quite some time we had ffmpeg1, as well, but I think all ports
have now moved on, so ffmpeg1 was removed. It would be up to someone to
write he support for a separate ffmpeg3/
ffmpeg, ffmpeg0 and ffmpeg1 when it existed, can all be installed
simultaneously. If you look through the ffmep0 Makefile you will find
it adds a 0 suffix to the binaries, libraries and dirs installed to
prevent conflicts. The ffmpeg configure step supports specifying the
dirs to install into as well as the suffix to add.
It may be time ffmpeg is updated to 3.x and the current ffmepg could be
moved to ffmpeg2. It is only a matter of someone making and maintaining
the port/s for each version, probably more to the point is how many
other ports would need a version other than what is in ffmpeg.
