Better remove header from bsd.port.mk and put it to /etc/make.ports.conf, 
then include /etc/make.ports.conf in bsd.port.mk. To not stay out of sync
some check must be added in bsd.port.mk which yell about obsoleted
/etc/make.ports.conf needs upgrade. I mean variables that really supposed
to be changed, not all ones.
