The above logic hardcodes a preference for homebrew over macports, which is fine for the most part, but I would love to see a --use-flags (or a more appropriately named) argument that allows the user to provide the flags manually.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

External dependencies handling is integrated in opam (since 2.1.0-alpha). If this is still an issue, please open one in opam bugtracker. Thanks!
