There is a subtle but important difference between 'make config' and
'make configure' for ports:

  * 'make configure' runs any autoconf scripts included in the port.

  * 'make config', on the other hand, launches the port menu.

So you can re-configure a port by typing 'make config'.  This will load
any options from the /var/db/ports/PORTNAME/options file, launch the
menu you are looking for, and save the new options when you are done.
