If you mean the minimum Rust version defined to be required by a
specific package, that already exists.

editors/kibi$ bmake show-var VARNAME=RUST_REQ
1.56.1

www/firefox115$ bmake show-var VARNAME=RUST_REQ
1.66.0

(That assumes packages are kept up to date in that regard. That's not
necessarily always the case. Here we also don't get into whether
there's a maximum Rust version feasible in some context, etc.)
