Set
PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT=         312
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE+=  310 311 313
PHP_VERSION_DEFAULT=            83
PHP_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE+=     56 74 81 82
in your /etc/mk.conf.

Depending on what you include in your bulk build, this might
completely break its scan phase, if the bulk build includes a package
that doesn't build with Python 3.12 or PHP 8.3. In that case, you'll
have to check bulklog/meta/presolve for the failing package &
PHP/Python version, and allow that PHP/Python version, or remove the
package from your bulk build.
