Thank you Scot.  bsd.options.mk is not usually my first port of call for
documentation of a user option.  Is somebody able, please, to get this
optionsNG documentation into the Handbook or some other user reference,
or even the Porter's Handbook before deprecating the current KNOBS
method?

Definitely.  That would be a big help.

The commit log for r327582 gives me the impression that it might
actually not be a good thing to remove the old KNOBS just yet.

As an experiment I changed that system's make.conf as follows and the
warnings went away (ports tree is at r327576)

 -WITHOUT_CUPS=
 -WITHOUT_X11=
 +OPTIONS_UNSET+=	CUPS X11

I'll put make.conf back the way it was, upgrade the ports tree, and wait
until I see those messages again.

Thank you Bryan and Scot for your help.
