Hi!
It could be because of backwards compatibility, or, because at least I 
wasn't really aware of that flag.  Is it for xserver or some other package?
If you have time, please try it out and see what happens.  Usually you 
can add it to CONFIGURE_ARGS= in the ports makefile and recompile the 
port.  I'm occupied elsewhere currently, but if I remember I'll look 
into it as well.
