No, this is specific to WITH_DEBUG. There are very few user facing
variables in the ports tree, WITH_DEBUG being one of them, for ease of
use, and because using it will usually tremendously increase the size of
generated packages, there is a WITH_DEBUG_PORTS variable available so
that you can easily build one port with debugging symbols and nothing
else.

If you need to set some variable for a specific port you can:

1) edit the Makefile directly
2) put a Makefile.local in the port's directory with whatever you need
3) Add something like this to make.conf (The one Matthias told you
   about):

  .if ${.CURDIR:M*/category/portname}
  SOME_VARIABLE=yes
  .endif

There are probably other convoluted ways to do it, but those are the
easier ones.
