Place make options in either pkgtools.conf, pm-020.conf or /etc/make.conf,
man portmanager explains how.  There isn't a way to pass make options
from portmanager's command line.

You can see for yourself, run portmanager -u -ui, it will stop
before upgrading the first port.  As it collects initial information
any make options found in either pm-020.conf or pkgtools.conf
will be shown to the right of the port name.  One caveat, you
must have ruby and portupgrade installed or portmanager will
ignore pkgtools.conf.
