There are 3 options for graphics/xfig.  It takes all of 5 minutes
to build and install xfig on a 5 year old laptop.  The options
are mutually exclusive, so one needs to build and install the
port 4 times (i.e., a whole 20 to 25 minutes).

I'm not advocating that portmgr should set up the testing
on the FreeBSD cluster.  The testing should be done by the 
individual maintainers.  If s/he includes 3 (or 2 dozen)
options in the Makefile, then s/he should test those options
when s/he changes/updates the port.  If it is too inconvenient
or too labor intensive to test the options (i.e., 2 dozen options),
then perhaps the options aren't too terribly important and should
be removed.

Yes, those should be the priorities.  Hopefully, any change
to a port (that addresses one of these PRs) is properly tested.
