(Well, extremely=20 rarely.) Usually the options are provided. Optionally you can add them=20 on the commandline like this: make -dwith_enable-foo -dwith_disable-bar. In the case of major ports=20 such as lang/php5, the options are almost always available somehow. Jpeg=20 support, for example, is in php5-extensions. If you don't find something you're expecting in a port, and you can't get=20 an answer on this list, email the port maintainer, whose email address=20 will always be in the port's Makefile.
