The way this was explained to me was to put all the files in the
pkg-plist, then use PLIST_SUB to comment them out if they aren't used.
Example: if WITH_FOOBAR is not defined, %%FOOBAR%% in the pkg-plist is
replaced with "@comment ", making that line a no-op.
In the port Makefile:
.if defined(${WITH_FOOBAR})
PLIST_SUB+= FOOBAR=""
.else
PLIST_SUB+= FOOBAR="@comment "
.endif
In pkg-plist:
%%FOOBAR%%some/file/for/foobar/option
