Excerpt from 'man portupgrade(1):
(same for portinstall)

   OPTIONS
     The following command line arguments are supported:
     [...]
     -m
     --make-args     Specify arguments to append to each make(1) com-
                     mand line.

Use it like so:

   # portupgrade -m 'WITH_FOO=yes USE_BAR=no' category/port

Or use Igor's advice to automate the process.
