I think the easiest method is to determine exactly what knobs you want to 
employ, then place them in the /etc/make.conf file.

/etc/make.conf
# Apache 2.2.2. section
.if $(.CURDIR:M*/www/apache22)
WITH_DBM=bdb
WITH_BERKELEYDB=db42
.endif

Obviously, you enter the knobs you want to use. An advantage to this 
method is that should you update Apache at some point, these knobs will be 
used by the newer version.
