You can put the options in /etc/make.conf. That way you can't forget them
when you're (re)building a port. For example, for apache22 you could put
the following in /etc/make.conf:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/apache22}
WITH_CATEGORY1_MODULES=yes
WITH_CATEGORY2_MODULES=yes
.endif

This effectively sets the variables whenever make is invoked in a
directory that ends with www/apache22. See make(1).
