There's a lot here, and I certainly haven't been through it all. 
Besides my earlier request to allow for a way to build all of
gstreamer-plugins in a monolithic way (like we can now) for testing
purposes, I would add that you should include bsd.gstreamer.mk twice in
bsd.port.mk (once during the bsd.port.pre.mk, and once during post). 
This way it will work with things like OPTIONS.
