I don't think that it is a good idea to have 3-rd party code as FreeBSD 
ports patches (ports patches are FreeBSD specific code). I think it 
would be better to have some directive for enabling extra modules for 
nginx and make subports for such modules, in the similar way as php 
ports for example.
Here is a small patch. Maybe this should be better done using OPTIONS.
