I think you fail to understand and appreciate that you are using UNIX.
TMTOWTDI.  ;-)

1) Wrap your make.conf entries in a conditional:

.if defined(PORTSDIR)
WITH_MY_OPTIONS=YES
.endif

2) Use portupgrade and put your customizations in
${PREFIX}/etc/pkgtools.conf in the MAKE_ARGS section.

3) Submit updates to all of your favorite ports to add support for the
new config target and OPTIONS magic.
