Yes. I have been aware of that file since it has been available in the ports dir. But I can't help but notice the omission of, for example: the mention of: APACHE2 Use www/apache2 port doesn't mention a pointer to MK/bsd.apache.mk which holds many of the "tunables" available for the Apache1.3 || 2.0 || 2.2 ports. Perhaps my post wasn't as concise as it might have been. But my goal was to find an efficient, consistent, and not /too/ laborious method of discovering all the options for a given port, and when in doubt; /what/ the particular option provides - eg; WITH_, or WITHOUT_.
