Real Soon Now(tm), support for deprecated variables (some of which have  
carried warnings for over 4 years) will be removed. If you use any of the  
following constructs (usually in /etc/make.conf), you must switch to the  
new incantations, or port builds will fail.

WITH_[...] / WITHOUT_[...]
   ->  OPTIONS_SET=[...] / OPTIONS_UNSET=[...]
WITHOUT_NLS
   ->  OPTIONS_UNSET=NLS
NOPORTDOCS
   ->  OPTIONS_UNSET=DOCS
NOPORTEXAMPLES
   ->  OPTIONS_UNSET=EXAMPLES
WITH_BDB_VER=[...]
   ->  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= bdb=[...]
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=[...]
   ->  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= linux=[...]
WITH_OPENSSL_BASE
   ->  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=base
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT
   ->  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=openssl

There is a Phabric review for the change at  
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13490.
