Tried that.  It turns into this (from portinstall -f security/amavisd-new):

--->  Building '/usr/ports/security/amavisd-new' with make flags: "AMAVIS_NOMILTER=@comment "

which then drops the space at the end.

I've tried a variety of quotes, backslashes, single quotes, etc...  I
was getting frustrated (no excuse, but...), so I didn't write down
everything I tried....
