This happens when /etc/make.conf specifies a python default version which is NOT equal to the one libreoffice would prefer. Libreoffice does prefer 3.8, while I do still have 3.7 as default.
Libreoffice does promote it's preferred version to the dependencies, here py-lxml, which then should build as py38-lxml.
But, for whatever reason, the default layout of the python flavors is so that flavors other than the default python version cannot be build (except when the port defines
