Which requires a manually-specified (via command-line) configuration to
override whatever happens to be saved (in /var/db/ports).
Treat /etc/make.conf and /var/db/ports/<foo>/options the same. Doesn't
really matter -- though keeping things the way they were in terms of the
order in which they're processed (particularly with the ?= constructs)
is important.
However, if I specify SOMEVAR=VALUE on the command line, either as an
environmental variable set, or a make construct, I absolutely expect it
to be honored.
cf: cd /usr/src; make KERNCONF=WOOT buildkernel
