This isn't what I'm looking for.  (I've already done this.)  What I'm 
looking for is the answer to the question, "How do you do port installs 
correctly when you need to include make options?"

I know how to skirt the system.  I want to know how to *use* the system the 
correct way.  I have this silly idea that the ports maintainers and the 
guys that write the code for FBSD might actually know a little more than I, 
and perhaps I should use the system the way they've designed it.

Silly me.
