Or, so you don't have one blobby make.conf that needs to be read for 
everything that uses FreeBSD's make, you can make a file called 
Makefile.local in the port's directory and set these.
There are only a few special cases in which this won't work, because it is 
included at "the bottom of the port's Makefile", but then you can resort 
to /etc/make.conf.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
