I'm not sure what posessed people to do this sort of thing, but it is
really not necessary to use "+=" in port Makefiles except for very
special cases (the same variable defined in two places, the second one
being conditional to some variable, or the port Makefile is included
from something else).
Remember, bsd.port.mk is included at the end of the Makefile, so there
is no use for "+=" if you are worried about overwriting something set
in bsd.port.mk. (In fact, bsd.port.mk worries about this for you, by
setting many variables using "+=" or "?=".)
