There may be config.status present in $WRKSRC directory (in a port
directory, run "make -V WRKSRC" to find the value) if that port's
make process generates such a file AND you have not run "make clean"
yet.  (That also means you have to compile the port yourself.)

To save make arguments for future use, you could write a wrapper
which would save the arguments in a file|database before running
appropriate make target.  Use the same wrapper to retrieve the
stored arguments.

Below is my attempt at such a wrapper (feel free to change) ...

... to see available commands just run "pmk" without any arguments.
Provide arguments to a make target as ...

  pmk <command> [ arg_1 arg_2 arg_3 ... ]
