Excerpt from 'man portupgrade(1):
(same for portinstall)
OPTIONS
The following command line arguments are supported:
[...]
-m
--make-args Specify arguments to append to each make(1) com-
mand line.
Use it like so:
# portupgrade -m 'WITH_FOO=yes USE_BAR=no' category/port
Or use Igor's advice to automate the process.
