Ok, now I've read the thread and can give my comments on the topic. To me
it seems that ports.conf file isn't really necessary, because it would be
just another file that gets unconditionally included from the bsd.ports.mk,
perhaps we could just merge content of hypotetic ports.conf with
bsd.ports.mk instead. This would solve "where to put it" and "at which
point to include it" problems. Comments?
