The port maintainer has made it so, for reasons unknown. This is a marked 
deviation from basically all other ports; the vim port is the only port 
that uses WITH_OPTIONS.

The switch was dropped in r314778 of the ports tree:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/editors/vim/Makefile?revision=314778&view=markup
but it was brought back in r322016:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/editors/vim/Makefile?revision=322016&view=markup

I ran into the same issue because I installed vim when WITH_OPTIONS was
absent.

The best way to get around this issue once and for all is to add the 
following to /etc/make.conf:

----- /etc/make.conf excerpt -----
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/editors/vim}
WITH_OPTIONS=YES
.endif
----- /etc/make.conf excerpt -----
