The options that a port was built with are saved in /var/db/ports, in
directories of the form "/var/db/ports/{portname}". This is what I call
the "persistent port options cache". Persistent because it survives
reboots, upgrades of the ports tree, etc. Cache, because it will save
you the typing and the popup dialog of the no-BATCH case.

Yes, portupgrade _will_ build the port with what you put in MAKE_ARGS.
Yes, options on the command line (i.e. those passed by portupgrade) will
affect the way make builds the port _and_ will be saved by the ports
infrastructure in /var/db/ports.
Hopefully, this was less confusing :)
