In a word, no, which makes using the option in portmaster.rc less 
desirable of course.

If someone can come up with a programmatic way of determining if such 
settings exist in ports.conf I'd be willing to consider adding the 
support, but given the wide variety of syntax that is supported I think 
such a thing would be difficult.
