I'm not sure I agree. There are exceptions, but ports hasn't typically
accommodated all the things that can be disabled in base.

Looks like there are 179 WITHOUT_* knobs. I'm probably missing
something, but it looks like ports only currently accommodates
WITHOUT_NLS and WITHOUT_SSP. Not all of the WITHOUT_* knobs would affect
ports, but adding support for all the WITHOUT_* knobs would still be a
big decision and a big job. Adding support for WITHOUT_GAMES would have
been different from what was done.
