You can edit the Makefile but then you have to remember to do it every time
there is an Update to the port
In Amanda's case --with-security-file is already in the CONFIGURE_ARGS
i.e
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --libexecdir=${PREFIX}/libexec/amanda \
--without-amlibexecdir \
--with-amandahosts --with-fqdn \
--with-dump-honor-nodump \
--prefix=${PREFIX} \
--disable-glibtest \
--with-user=${USERS} --with-group=${AMANDA_GROUP} \
--with-bsdtcp-security --with-bsdudp-security \
--with-ssh-security \
--disable-installperms --with-security-file=${ETCDIR}/amanda-security.conf
I don't know Amanda but I suppose you can change the security file
location in a config file later on.

Arnold
