I'm not the target.  I know how to deal with it, but go look in FreeBSD 
forums and see how upset people are about texlive coming in by default. 
  As you can guess, I don't blame them.

Adamw suggested a "heavy docs" option that would have captured doxygen 
and doc-utils, something that could/should be off by default.  It was a 
good idea and it should be implemented.

The issue is considering "packages" something that only FreeBSD 
distributes.  If packages become the normal output of building from 
source (something that poudriere and synth endorse), then this line of 
thinking is a problem.

Yes, but there are others.  E.g. DEVELOPER=yes also affects OPTIONS. 
Other ports try to detect what's installed to change options, etc. 
Anyway, I'm glad you found a use for it.
