I personally do not recommend doing it this way: etc/poudriere.d/options/portname/options

The main reason is that it is both difficult to track what options you intended to change, and the fact that those options will never get updated. If a port maintainer adds a new option and turns it on by default or perhaps disables an option by default, your options file will not be updated to reflect this. It will make it painful to troubleshoot your ports/packages.

I prefer to enter the changes in etc/poudriere.d/make.conf (or one of the other make.conf's available here for your build flavor, etc)

The format in make.conf is as follows:

lang_php5_SET= DTRACE
lang_php5_UNSET = FPM

This will make it much easier to track over time exactly which port options you intend to change.
