Do you actually know what happened with the meta-port today?  All
that changed was the restoration of old behavior (and the
addition of a knob for the ignorant users that don't know kdebase
is a minimal KDE install).  Who lost what today?

The meta-port was never customizable to the extent that you want,
nor is there a good reason to do that.  Again, I ask, what is
wrong with typing "portinstall kdebase <kde-whatever>" as opposed
to your solution, to add this list to /etc/make.conf?
