You could have trimmed indefinite article from COMMENT while you're here.

This is a poorly chosen knob name: in English, it would rather mean "less(1)
without colors" (= colorless) than "color-enabled less(1)".  I would suggest
you rename it to just "COLORS" or "COLOR_SUPPORT" (a bit too long I guess).

Also notice missing tab after COLOR_LESS_DESC= -- I assume it was dropped
because COLOR_LESS_DESC= is 16 chars long; shortening option name would help
knobs to align nicely without having to sacrifice whitespace.

Option name uses American (that is, correct) spelling of COLOR, but here
you check for COLOUR.  This would not work.  portlint(1) should have warned
about it.
