Have you tried looking through /usr/ports/Mk/* ? Something like
`grep -ri autoconf /usr/ports/Mk` should point you to some comments
and general stuff. Also try looking at other ports that use some
of those variables (`grep -r {variable} /usr/ports`).
We have some framework for autoconf handling in there already. I've
never used it (I usually rely on pre-built configure scripts, rather
than build them during build-time), but it looks pretty robust.
Others here should be able to help; sorry I can't be of much more...
