> I'll except your answer, although in the back of my mind I'm sure in
other cmake projects I've seen options to build both, but since I tend to
try to get static libs, I might not of actually seen whether it built
both, even though the option seems to be in there...

Depending on upstream's project, it might be as simple as adding a few
additional lines to the appropriate `CMakeLists.txt`. (And sometimes it's
as simple as adding an additional line, if you don't mind using the same
basename for both libs.)
However, each case is highly-specific to the project in question. Which
dovetails with Ryan's earlier comment, re: why we can't easily implement
it via the `cmake` portgroup.
This isn't desirable for the port in-general, so it's not something we'd
want to add. But just letting you know that it's typically not difficult.
