If you know what the config flags you need/want are, you can edit the
Makefile at the top level of the port to include them. There is typically
a section CONFIGURE_ARGS= where the default ones are listed and you can
add/change/delete your own.

Subject: A question about the ports system


I understand the functionality of the ports system at a beginning level.
However, with packages, I know that you can use various configure flags to
build the package with just the abilities you need.  Is there a way to do
this with the ports system?  Does it just create a really huge binary to
handle possibly anything you need or does it leave parts out that you MAY
need?
