I just finished writing a port manager program that allows you to set the make 
options port by port in a config file. Too bad I  finished it just in time 
for the port freeze, :( Anyways I'm filing a pr for it tonight and for your 
info The package may be downloaded at: 

https://sourceforge.net/projects/portmanager/ 

You would have to build it outside of the normal ports system for now
by gunzip, tar -xf, ./configure, make. but it is written specifically for 
FreeBSD so no patching would be necessary.
 
Here is the config file for my system:

/usr/local/etc/portmanager/portmanager.conf

#............................................
# port manager configuration file	ver 00.00.00
#............................................................
#............................................................
#	defaults:
# command sequence	| applies too		| command line switch	
#............................................................
#	1		ALL			"make clean"
#	2		ALL			"make"
#	3		ALL			"pkg_create -b {pkg id}"
#	4		ALL			"make deinstall"
#	5		ALL			"make reinstall"
#	6		ALL			"rm -f {pkg id}"
#	7		ALL			"make package"
#	8		ALL			"make clean"
#............................................................
# user adjustment area: add command line switch to default
# commands for specific ports in this section
#............................................................
#............................................................
# command sequence	| applies too		| command line switch	
#............................................................
	2		textproc/docproj	JADETEX=no	
	2		x11-toolkits/vte	WITH_GLX=yes

I am setting up the web site for it today so the home page isn't ready yet
but the html'ified man page may be veiwed at:
