Its a convention that ports should honour the systems CFLAGS variable.

Otherwise the ports Makefile has to contain
	NO_PACKAGE=ignores cflags

But then your software doesn't get compiled on the package
building machine. So people never would be able to simply
install your software using pkg_add ....

Its documented in the FreeBSD porters handbook
	http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/index.html
	http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/x1852.html <- !

Otherwise FreeBSD packages would
- get too big, with the result that fewer packages fit onto the CDs
- have too esoteric CFLAGS, which might result in instability of the
  software...

see above ;-) And thanks for your work !
