I'll try setting that and also OPTIONS_UNSET+=QT5.
Maybe it's in the 'set' functionality of poudriere (I've not used
that functionality before though).

If that doesn't work then I'll have to @qt6 all the qt ports
when building.

No need to guess:

% git -P grep '^OPTIONS.*QT6'
editors/libreoffice/Makefile:OPTIONS_RADIO_QT=  QT5 QT6

WEBSERVICE X11

emulators/yuzu/Makefile:OPTIONS_SINGLE_GUI=     QT5 QT6
games/moonlight-qt/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFAULT=    QT6
games/moonlight-qt/Makefile:OPTIONS_SINGLE_QT=  QT6 QT5
games/qnetwalk/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFINE= QT6 SOUND DOCS NLS
games/qnetwalk/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFAULT=QT6 SOUND
graphics/qimgv/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFAULT=        EXIV2 OPENCV QT6 VIDEO
graphics/qimgv/Makefile:OPTIONS_SINGLE_QT=      QT5 QT6
math/octave/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFINE=    DOCS JAVA QT6
math/octave/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFAULT=   JAVA OPENBLAS QT6

x11-wm/hyprland/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFINE=        QT6 X11
x11-wm/hyprland/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFAULT=QT6 X11

(this may miss a few due to line continuation)

It would be surprising if there's no way to globally define flavours.

There isn't.

Sadly, this is so. While the ports framework benefits from years of work.
It's not quite a be-all-to-end-all. But pretty darn close!
There is however, another option that effectively gives you the end result
you hope to achieve; make --config-recursive. You will need to repeat this
command until you no longer get config dialogs. Once complete, the results

may well introduce a port with different options. Which may also cause a new
branch of options to set regarding other (now affected) ports. While it's
not a "silver bullet". It at least gives you your desired outcome.
