I understand. I have already contacted the maintainers and now it is
up to them to decide how to handle this. Personally, I think this merits
the configure options, as a whole toolchain is installed, but I respect
them if they do not wish to provide it (the whole direct rendering stack
in FreeBSD has zero configure options).

If they choose not to, however, I will simply not update these ports,
as I do not even use 3D acceleration in this machine.
