Adjusting configuration options during port installation?

I will try this. Thanks.

I actually already tried this option.  Unfortunately, it did not work
for reasons that are unknown to me.

Another thing that I was thinking was going into the
work/cyrus-imapd2.2.12 directory and manuall running ./configure (with
the options listed in Makefile as well as the options I need) and make
from there, then going back the port's main directory and running make
install.  Does anyone know if this will or will not work?  Also, the
Makefile specifies a couple of items as follows:

--with-sasl=${LOCALBASE} \
--with-bdb-libdir=${LOCALBASE}/lib \
--with-openssl=${OPENSSLBASE} \
--with-perl=${PERL5} \

How can I determine what these variables are?

Thanks again to all for your help.
