If you build your own packages with poudriere you can build them with your own set of options. You can either do a manual make config with the options saved to files matching /var/db/ports/*/options or you can use a custom make.conf with lines like mail_postfix_SET= DOCS PGSQL TLS And it will build quicker than using ports as it can build many ports in parallel based on the dependencies for each, where ports only builds one at a time.
