Don't have a ton of experience with either macports or homebrew but pretty much any package manager deals with running multiple different versions at the same time, or projects using different versions of the same dependency, without getting in your way. Biggest/most famous example I guess would be javascript/npm/npm inc registry.

Nope, completely different “package manager”. Homebrew and Mac ports are more similar to apt or yum or Pacman, and those often do not provide for running multiples of the same software except in specific edge cases where sauf software can be argued to be different from itself e.g. python2/3, they sort of things.
