This example from portmanager's manual is how to do it in make.conf:

      .if ${.CURDIR:M*/local/sysutils/portmanager}
      PREFIX=/home/mike/TEMP
      .endif
      #
      .if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/mplayer}
      WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=yes \
      WITH_GTK1=yes WITH_RTC=yes WITH_LIBUNGIF=yes WITH_ARTS=yes \
      WITH_FRIBIDI=yes WITH_CDPARANOIA=yes WITH_LIBDV=yes        \
      WITH_MAD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes WITH_AALIB=yes WITH_THEORA=yes    \
      WITH_SDL=yes WITH_ESOUND=yes WITH_VORBIS=yes WITH_XANIM=yes     \
      WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes WITH_MATROSKA=yes WITH_XVID=yes WITH_LZO=yes \
      WITH_XMMS=yes WITH_LANG=en
      .endif

Just change the  "multimedia/mplayer" of

 .if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/mplayer} 

to the port you want to save settings for.  It is interpreted
as something like "when the current directory matches this pattern, use
these WITH_* values"
