 Possibly true. On the other hand, there's a lot of things in the
 make.conf man page that should go there as well, and a lot of
 duplication between the two.
 
 Someone should decide which of the two pages they belong in (*), merge
 them into one place with an appropriate replacement in the other, and
 add a reference to make.conf(7) to ports(7). I'm willing to do the
 work; I just want to make sure it goes in the right place before
 starting.

 *) I'd vote for putting them in make.conf(7), as doing so would help fix
 one of the bugs on the ports(7) man page: "This man page is too long."
