Not the answer that you want, but I guess that from multiple lines of
output it's possible to (at least) tell that there _exist_ flavours for
a port:
% pkg rquery --regex '%o %v %R' lua.+stdlib$ | sort
devel/lua-stdlib 41.2.2_1 FreeBSD
devel/lua-stdlib 41.2.2_1 FreeBSD
devel/lua-stdlib 41.2.2_1 FreeBSD
devel/lua-stdlib 41.2.2_1 FreeBSD
%
– then <https://www.freshports.org/devel/lua-stdlib/#flavors>.
(<https://www.freshports.org/faq.php#anchors>; lists the in-page anchors
that are now available in FreshPorts.)
Old, but maybe relevant:

(My knowledge of flavours is minimal so if that's no longer relevant,
sorry.)
