Comment (by MarcusCalhoun-Lopez):

 It may seem strange to install Lua 5.3 when installing a Lua 5.4 module.\\
 However, this was an intentional design choice.\\
 To use your analogy of Python, it would be like a Python 3.11 module
 depending cmake, which in turn depends (indirectly) on Python 3.10.\\
 There is no need for multiple cmake installations.

 The old `luarocks5.4` is equivalent to `luarocks --lua-version=5.4`, so
 there is no need for multiple installations of luarocks.\\
 `port contents lua-luarocks | grep /opt/local/etc` shows the the files
 luarocks uses to install for different versions of Lua.

 The port luarocks_select should be removed as it does nothing useful
 now.\\
 Truth be told, I forgot about its existence.

 As soon as I can get to to, we can increase the

 ports/blob/17385589df6f8290a8bc2fdb8e6318009a3a5c78/_resources/port1.0/group/lua-1.0.tcl#L55
 default version] of Lua to 5.4.\\
 Then, at least, luarocks will depend on Lua 5.4.

 Please let me know if I am not being clear or have not addressed your
 concerns.
