Or if you're using port upgrade, look at the example file 
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.  Find the section called "MAKE_ARGS" (I 
think.  Pretty close to that if I'm wrong), and then specify your 
settings there.  That way any future portupgrade invocations will use 
your defined settings and save you the grief of "WTF happened?"  :)
