I do not see any problems with retiring bzip2 port in my variant -
when the time has came just remove archivers/bzip2 and its traces
in RUN/LIB/BUILD_DEPENDS of various ports. The former is common
for both scenarios, while you have to do the latter at the beginning
of your scenario anyway (i.e. convert RUN/LIB/BUILD_DEPENDS into
various USE_*).
