Thanks Mike I think I'll use this but I'm still unsure if I need to list 
every option for a port, even if I don't care about them, or just leave 
them out and the options I want will just be appended to the other port 
build options, for example the options for www/horde:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/horde}
WITH_APACHE2=no WITH_PHP5=no WITHOUT_SUPPORTED_DB=no WITHOUT_MYSQL=yes 
WITH_POSTGRESQL=yes \
WITHOUT_IMAP=no WITHOUT_LDAP=no WITHOUT_FTP=no WITHOUT_MCAL=yes 
WITH_IMSP=no \
WITHOUT_FILEINFO=no WITHOUT_GD=no WITHOUT_ZLIB=no WITH_MAGICK=no 
WITHOUT_ICONV=no \
WITHOUT_MBSTRING=no WITHOUT_WV=no WITHOUT_XL=no WITHOUT_GEOIP=no 
WITHOUT_SW=no \
 WITHOUT_WEBCPP=no WITH_SRCHIGH=no WITH_ENSCRIPT=no WITH_RPM=no WITH_DEB=no
.endif

The only options I care about are:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/horde}
WITHOUT_MYSQL=yes WITH_POSTGRESQL=yes WITHOUT_MCAL=yes
.endif

Can I leave out all the crap I don't care about, just taking the 
defaults for them, and the options I want will be appended to the port? 
Is there something simple I'm just not getting? I spent most of the day 
reading the man pages for make, make.conf, ports, the make tutorial, and 
everything I could fine online about ports, portupgrade, etc. but 
nothing has help on how to automate port upgrading with only the options 
I care about. This has got to be something simple thats just not 
clicking in my head.
