Yes, the idea behind that was to be able to set a variable in /etc/make.conf
that does not interfere with other ports. For that it's the easiest way by
adding WITHOUT_NESSUS_GTK=yes to /etc/make.conf. You also could use something
like that:

.if ${.CURDIR:N*/ports/security/nessus-devel} == ""
WITHOUT_GNOME=	yes
.endif

But not too many users really are aware of that, so having an additional knob
is of some value.

Anyway: I'll update the Makefile soon to be bsd.gnome.mk compliant. Thanks
for pointing that out.
