The bit for me which was confusing is that the PORTS_MODULES reference, as Gregory correctly pointed out, is in the man page for make.conf and not src.conf. So one would think what the man page referenced would go into the file that pertaining to that manpage.

The reason I've always had things like KERNCONF=KERNCONF1 GENERIC and PORTS_MODULES in src.conf is because I figured "if it gets built when base gets built then it must go in src.conf". So when Gregory mentioned it goes in make.conf, I thought perhaps I was doing it all wrong, or in an outdated way. I was surprised finding that in these contexts it didn't matter as long as one remembers as you say += ?= in make.conf
