Alternative, probably even more crude:

1) install A via pkg and let it install B and C as depedencies
2) go to /usr/ports/bla/A, run "make configure" and set your
   options
3) run "make deinstall; make reinstall"

Or probably worse (which I did):

1) go to /usr/ports/bla/A, run "make configure" and set your
   options
2) run "make missing", reformat output and pipe it to pkg so
   those get installed (here: B and C will be on the list)
3) run "make install"

In case the changed options would require a rebuild of B or C,
which _can_ happen, they will be rebuilt as it is needed, but
only in _that_ case.

And finally: Prepare for problems when trying to use pkg's
binary upgrading mechanism. :-)
