That's a problem. I agree.
But what about ports having 10 different options?
Probably it would make sense to build the most common configurations in 
such a case.
On the other hand, the user must know which package to add for a given 
port with a given config.
I am not familiar with packages and package building in detail.

I assume that this is currently done by hand? To say build the vim port 
with options --with-gtk, --with-kde and --with_arena?
Or is there a way to set this in a Makefile? Not only altering the 
package name from vim to vim-xxx, but to define configurations for 
automatic package building?
