I think doesn't need a new "variable" (CRAN). As I see the pear.mk does
similar:
WWW?=https://pear.php.net/package/${PORTNAME}/
( https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/Mk/Uses/pear.mk#n43 )

So in this case if maintainer doesn't set WWW in port's Makefile will
be the default.

Another thing in cran.mk:
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/Mk/Uses/cran.mk#n33
Checks the existence of bin/pdflatex and if it false add plus option to
checking. It's bad as Porter's handbook suggests. Should be a parameter
(eg. test-vignettes in cran_ARGS) and if it set automatically add texlive-bin to
TEST_DEPENDS.

Another else: in do-test target use MAKE_ENV - it's confusing because
Porter's Handbook says the TEST_ENV is the proper variable
(see https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#make-test). 
So if a porter doesn't check cran.mk set the TEST_ENV and it isn't used
in do-test.
