Oh, you are quite mistaken. make args are one of its strong points :)

Firstly you can use -m on the command line. But even better is
pkgtools.conf where you can store the parameters permanently, no need to
remember them or retype next time you upgrade.

Here is a snippet from mine:
 MAKE_ARGS = {
        'www/mozilla' =>        '-DWITH_GTK2'
 }
