Hmm... What is wrong with directly amending /etc/make.conf with, for
example:

---------------------------------
WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/devel/gmake}
WITHOUT_NLS=yes
.endif

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/fetchmail}
.MAKEFLAGS: -DWITH_NTLM
.endif

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/sysutils/uptimed}
post-install-script:
	-${RM} ${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin/uprecords.conf
	-${RM} ${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin/uprecords.cgi
	-${RM} ${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin/uprecords.header
	-${RM} ${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin/uprecords.footer
	-${RMDIR} ${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin
	-${RMDIR} ${PREFIX}/www
.endif
---------------------------------

Note specifically the ".MAKEFLAGS" trick above that IMHO won't easily
work with portconf.
