Sorry, the day is getting long (and it doesn't sound that harsh in german,
it definitively wasn't meant that harsh).

Every ports developer started by compiling their own ports :) At least,
that's how I started. And I had mentioned bsd.ports.mk in my previous
mail.

There is ports(7), and again it redirects to bsd.ports.mk.
I'm not even sure we could have all the ports make variables in a man
page - the knobs of the ports tree depend on your checkout (portsnap,
svn, whatever) and not on the base system or some installed package.
