Simplest way would be to install ports-mgmt/portconf. The installation
appends what's needed to /etc/make.conf
Then you need to add to /usr/local/etc/ports.conf to enable what you
require the port to do.  Something like:

databases/mariadb55-client: mariadb_UNSET=MAXKEY X11 GNOMEVFS
lang/perl*: OPTIONS_SET=THREADS PERL_64BITINT
lang/php5:  php5_UNSET=DEBUG MULTIBYTE X11 GNOMEVFS | php5_SET=APACHE
SUHOSIN

should give you a sense of what you can do.  The above is an extract
from a script that was used during the transition from WITH_|WITHOUT_ to
OPTIONS_SET|OPTIONS_UNSET and ${UNIQUENAME}_SET${UNIQUENAME}_UNSET, but
it should serve to give you a clue as to how to make tweaking your ports
a lot easier.  Then when you want to make a port just
make -DBATCH
this avoids the dialogue and provides consistency when building a lot of
ports across different machines &/or platforms.  It also saves
cluttering your make.conf.
