Per title, attempting to harvest mature riverpigs fails with the message "this riverpig no longer provides any yield nor carries any usable parts".
Unsure if this is a bug, intentional, or if riverpigs just have some obscure requirements.

The simple answer is that riverpig lacks any properties related to plant products in the flora data located in flora_newherbs.txt
But according to brian.shapiro's flora suggestions thread on the old forum (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/urwforum/new-berry-herb-sprite-thread-t2662.html#p22014498), there ought to be roots at a minimum:
"The Sami were digging for the roots that were eaten with pleasure (Nensén p. 415). Slappakråsse (Grundström 1948:393) or slabbaråsse (Grundström 1948:369), yellow and white water lilies {Nuphar lutea and Nymphaea alba). The rhizomes of these perennial water plants have a strong, bitter taste. They contain toxic alkaloids and need to be processed and detoxified prior to eating (Airaksinen et al. 1986:280, 284, 287, 291). The rhizomes were used as famine food in northern Europe (Airaksinen et al. 1986:279; Kjellman 1882; Källman 1997:122-123; Svanberg 1998:234). Water lilies were eaten by native peoples in northeastern North America (Källman 1 997: 1225), hoewver they were primarily used for medicinal purposes to treat ulcers (Turner et al. 1990:235). There is no information on the Sami use of slappakråsse."
I think it would be appropriate for these lines to be added to .Riverpig. and .Water lily.

It's kind of an oversight and/or unfinished business that the riverpig harvesting was left in its current state. That harvest message surely is confusing - or a bugged in a sense that there never has been any harvest possibility to begin with.
I'll drop a few remarks/thoughts in the Riverpig Harvest? (https://www.unrealworld.fi/forums/index.php?topic=7422.0) thread.

This will be fixed/added in the upcoming patch. And similar mechanics will apply to water lily as well.
We'll make it so that the character needs to wade to harvest riverpig and water lily plants as a whole, which can be then threshed for their roots.
The roots are can be then for example ground for flour.
It also appears that riverpig and water lily graphics have been mistakenly switched, they should be other way around. This will be fixed as well.
Fixed/added - persists in 3.86b
