I don't use portconf because I didn't have time to set it up
consistently for all my ports, but I suggest you stick to the KNOBS and
OPTIONS the port provides (except if you find something not covered by
them, which I doubt, and in which case please tell me about so I can
fix it). Based on their value I do a few things to the standard
distribution and I see no reason for you to repeat that post-install
each time.

Maybe if you also put BATCH here ? Also you need to put WITHOUT for all
options that default to on (that includes MYSQL50). My suggestion would
be to do a make config and copy/paste from resulting OPTIONS file.

AFAIK I don't have custom hack WRT to OPTIONS handling anymore (except
check-options-version: target which I guarantee it ain't responsible
for your problem) but I'll take a look tonight. Try to put in WITHOUT
for the rest of MYSQL versions and MYSQL_LOCAL and if something changes
then I have a bug in the port.
