Direct modification assumes you edit it directly, I leave this job for 
dialog4ports.

And how you are going to support make.conf options ?
Let's say, if you need custom ffmpeg or nginx, how many lines you need 
to put in that file? Probably 2, but they will be long.
How are you going to be notified for new options ? nginx options changes 
fast and if they enabled by default, you *silently* receive them. Maybe 
changes will be incompatible with your custom build, like HTTPv2 without 
SSL.
make.conf way is a long term failure. It's not Gentoo portage with meta 
flags.
