You need to look more carefully at the make.conf options. There are knobs to turn off the builds of all 3 things that you mentioned explicitly, and a lot more. Creation of additional knobs for other items of interest is always welcome (though not always accepted). You should also look carefully at the option of using a cvs repository and checking out your src tree. This will give you a mechanism for preserving local modifications that don't end up in the tree.
