I had a quick dig in /usr/ports/Mk and from bsd.port.mk It looks like 
what you want is
"
# WITH_DEBUG            - If set, debugging flags are added to CFLAGS 
and the
#                         binaries don't get stripped by INSTALL_PROGRAM.
#                         Besides, individual ports might add their specific
#                         to produce binaries for debugging purposes.
#                         You can override the debug flags that are 
passed to
#                         the compiler by setting DEBUG_FLAGS. It is set to
#                         "-g" at default
"
