WITH_PKGNG is not a classical OPTION, because it doesn't apply to any
port in particular.

There is some documentation for users at [1], basically you need to
change any WITH_ variables to OPTIONS_SET=, and WITHOUT_ to
OPTIONS_UNSET=.  I'll hopefully find some time soon to get it in the
Handbook....

For example;

WITHOUT_X11=yes
WITH_CUPS=yes
WITHOUT_PULSEAUDIO=yes

becomes

OPTIONS_SET=CUPS
OPTIONS_UNSET=PULSEAUDIO X11
