If you do a "make rmconfig" or "rmconfig-recursive" before a "make install", then it is deleting the options file, and with a "make install" you can happily choose your favorite options again. As usual, the manual for ports # man ports will list most of the things you can do with ports. You can take a look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk for more information.
