Ports building automatically with default options?

[Reko Turja]

I just installed new 9.0 machine from scratch, cvsupped ports, fetched index 
and started building portupgrade. Both perl and ruby built with default 
options, without running config. No changes in port building steps nor 
workaround for this POLA violation anywhere  in the UPDATING etc. as far as 
I could see.

Is there workarounds or information how to get ports building the old way 
with asking options?
