pkgtools.conf only affects options passed to the top-level make (for the
port).  If the port hasn't provided an option to do the thing you want,
it can't help you.  i.e., if, when you build the port, you have to cd to
the "work" directory and fiddle around (by running ./configure, for
example), you're doing stuff not provided by the port system and/or that
port's author.

The suggestion made by  Thierry Thomas is a good one, but it does
involve editing the port.
