Looking at the VLC port it looks like the subport ffmpeg-VLC and the
main port have nothing in common at all. This is not what subports are
meant for.

Just move ffmpeg-VLC to a separate Portfile. If anything needs to be
kept in sync, add a comment. The name alone should be enough hint what
this is intended for. Don't force yourself to use subports if it adds
unwanted complexity.
