'WITH_IPV6' inserted into /etc/make.conf in the way you show will
enable IPv6 support in all ports that offer the capability.  It's
the recognised flag for that purpose and documented as such in
/usr/ports/KNOBS.

If you want to limit the effect to a single port, then you can use a
construction like this in /etc/make.conf:

.if ${.CURRDIR:M*/dns/djbdns}
WITH_IPV6=	YES
.fi

Also look at ports-mgmt/portsconf which lets you achieve the same
end but using a different syntax which you may find easier to deal
with.

	Cheers,
