Basically, you cannot do this. The new pkg obsoletes the
traditional pkg_* tools which operate on binary packages
which get built (by FreeBSD build systems) using the
corresponding port's default settings.

If you need to use custom-configured packages (build via
"make install clean" or using a port management tool
such as portmaster), this does currently not integrate
that well with pkg. However, "poudriere" is a solution:
You build packages with your own options and can _then_
use that package source with pkg.
