The options menu only appears the first time you build the port.  Then
the next time you build the port, if the
/var/db/ports/<portname>/options file exists, it won't show the
options menu again.

The only way to override these options is to use 'make config' or
'make rmconfig'.  'make rmconfig' removes the options file, so the
next time you build the port, the options menus will appear.

To see the current settings:

make showconfig

Ports that use the options menu don't allow you to use 'make
WITHOUT_QUICKTIME=yes' or entries in /etc/make.conf to override the
options.
