I think there is some benefit to explicitly adding them with 
discretion. Ports like ImageMagick, or the Berkeley DB ports, which 
install massive amounts of documentation, are really nice to be able to 
selectively disable DOCS for. I think port maintainers can put DOCS in 
OPTIONS in a meaningful and useful way.
