Install sysutils/portconf.  This gives you a ports.conf file where you can 
put global and per-port configuration options.  This file will be used 
regardless of what ports tree manager you use, as it hooked 
into /etc/make.conf.

Per-port configuration should not be part of a port upgrade tool.  It 
should be handled by the ports tree.  Which is what portconf does.
