I think you are referring to suffixes such as :patch, :fetch, :config.

FreshPorts ignores those entirely.  It just lists the ports regardless 
of those suffixes.

Find a Makefile containing FETCH_DEPENDS is one thing.  Getting a value 
from the default config settings is another. :)  I wasn't explicit about 
that, but I chose the words carefully.
