Not that I know of, no.

I don't think you can tell it exactly that. However, you can disable
the building of certain things with /etc/make.conf. Look through the
make.conf man page and /etc/defaults/make.conf to see what knobs are
available for this.

Once you've disabled building things, you can remove them from the
tree, and set up your cvsup file to not fetch them. Failing to disable
the build and not fetching them will eventually result in problems
trying to build the system.
