Hi,

is there a way to overide options stored in /var/db/ports/*/options, 
basically getting back the pre-OPTIONSng behaviour of being able to 
overide port options in /etc/make.conf ?

Before OPTIONSng was introduced, I was able to specify options in 
/etc/make.conf (WITHOUT_X11, WITHOUT_CUPS, WITH_MAILHEAD, WITH_SSL, 
WITH_MYSQL, WITH_DOVECOT, ...), which then overode any occurency of that 
option in any port (or just specific ones, by e.g. checking .CURDIR), 
regardless of the setting the ports option file contained.
