It is good.

It is perfectly explainable -- FreeBSD ports makesystem keeps track
of all stages that the port was get through and will never rerun them.
On the other hand, it will run the stages that weren't already executed.
You run ./configure manually, but the makesystem isn't aware of it, so
it executes ./configure once more. Watch for the CONFIGURE_COOKIE
and ${${target:U}_COOKIE} in the /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.

Basically, because you're not intended to mess with the manual invocation
of configure script. The proper thing to do is to edit avahi-app
port's Makefile and replace
-----
--with-dbus-system-socket=unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket \
-----
with
-----
--disable-dbus --disable-gdbm \
-----
or whatever suits you.
