There is no per port file, but, bbeing make.conf a file sourced by make, 
you can use make syntax:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*www/apache22*}
	SUEXEC_DOCROOT=/foo/bar
.endif

this will make the variable defined only if working in a patch 
containing the string www/apache22. You can be even more stringent with 
the matching.

Usually putting variables in the make.conf files (or the per jail, per 
portstrree or even the per set ones) should be enough in most cases.
