I don't see the need for that as long as errors are caught and explained
with sensible and consistent messages.

Why? And: does anyone else agree? There are also other WITH_ knobs like
WITH_ALL_IMAPUTILS, WITH_DRAC, WITH_RFC1730, WITH_NETSCAPE_BRAIN_DAMAGE,
WITH_MICROSOFT_BRAIN_DAMAGE. I suppose you want all of these described
too?

Using WITH_x knobs is a common ports thing, it should be documented
elsewhere I think. Personally, I'd prefer something similar to OpenBSD's
flavors. But then again, that's just me (?). ;)

^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^
How can this be misunderstood?

cclient needs to be installed using WITH_SSL as well, for now. The
imap-uw port does say that too: "Please recompile and reinstall the
cclient port with WITH_SSL=yes set". But I'll move the dependancy information
generation from the install target so that it becomes more intuitive.
