​/var/db/ports​/<portname>/options

That's the file that is read when you run "make showconfig" in a port
directory.  If the file doesn't exist, then it shows the default options
from the Makefile.

"make rmconfig" will remove that saved options file.  Then a "make
showconfig" will show you the default options for the port.

This is all detailed in "man ports".  :)
