Well, the previous version of the port did not even have an OpenCASCADE option.
In the original science/elmerfem-devel, I included OpenCASCADE because I could,
but it was commented out in the committed version as it required math/vtk6 with
QT5, which was not enabled by default. We can set OCC now when math/vtk8 is
used.

Personally, I build everything from source code, so I disabled it by default to
avoid unnecessary dependencies for an uncommon need, but maybe I'm wrong about
how important OpenCASCADE support will be for others. I found it easier to
import CAD models indirectly via cad/gmsh and only inspect the result with
ElmerGUI.

I have nothing against defining OCC by default if you think that is better.
