I just tried adding those two lines again, and now it works!  Looking back over
my past notes, I *think* what may have been the issue is I did not include the
".export" line, only the PORTCONFIG_CLOCALE line.

In fact, I can't find any reference to needing that line, so maybe this is more
of a documentation issue that needs to be addressed?  Looking in the
portconfig(1) manpage, there's no reference that that line needs an export, and
at the bottom, it shows the export of a different variable, but the "export"
word lacks the '.' at the beginning, which will throw a parsing error if you
run 'make config'.  So I think the manpage needs updating to correct that and
maybe mention that some of the variables stated there need ".export" to work
correctly.
