While you can supply arguments on the command line, it is hard to
remember.

Therefore I think it is best to set arguments in make.conf. For example;

---------- make.conf excerpt ----------
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/graphics/xpdf}
A4=3Dyes
=2Eendif

=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/mutt-devel}
WITH_MUTT_SLANG2=3Dyes
WITHOUT_MUTT_HTML=3Dyes=20
WITHOUT_MUTT_XML=3Dyes=20
WITHOUT_MUTT_COMPRESSED_FOLDERS=3Dyes=20
WITHOUT_NLS=3Dyes=20
NOPORTDOCS=3Dyes
=2Eendif

=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/print/cups*}
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=3Dtrue
=2Eendif
---------- make.conf excerpt ----------

The '.if' statement ensures that the variables are only set when make is
called from the praticular port direction.
