Look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk in this section:

.if defined(WITH_DEBUG) && !defined(WITHOUT_DEBUG)
STRIP=  #none
STRIP_CMD=      ${TRUE}
DEBUG_FLAGS?=   -g
CFLAGS:=                ${CFLAGS:N-O*:N-fno-strict*} ${DEBUG_FLAGS}
.endif

As you can see, if WITH_DEBUG is defined, then $STRIP will be a empty,
DEBUG_FLAGS and CFLAGS changes too.
