                       This is an optional, user-provided file. If it exists,
                       the builder's /etc/make.conf will be appended with the
                       contents of this file. For the default profile, the
                       file would normally be located at
                       /usr/local/etc/synth/LiveSystem-make.conf

All you need to do is to convert your /var/db/ports/* options into
make.conf style options and put it into LiveSystem-make.conf.

Works for me.
