	As I understand it, the FreeBSD-supplied defaults for this type
of variable are set in /etc/defaults/make.conf (which should never
be edited),
	... overridden on a per-system basis in /etc/make.conf,
	... and altered for any given port by the port's Makefile.
	If the Makefile is missing a necessary/desirable tunable
option, then you need to talk to the maintainer.  (And I believe
your port is actively maintained.)
	I tend to use pkgtools.conf to reocrd those variables used
directly by the port which are not recorded by a "config" dialogue.
(See example appended.)
	I am not a Makefile/configuration guru, and we are now pushing
the envelope of what I'm willing to pontificate about.
