 * There is another point of MOTIF_STATIC adding exist too. Since it control
 * MOTIFLIB too (as HAVE_MOTIF), not mentioning it gives reduced picture
 * of things which can leads to confusion related to MOTIFLIB (one example of
 * such confusion you already give).

I'm thinking about taking out MOTIFLIB too.  99% of the users don't
need that and yet it seems everyone with Motif is defining it.

 * bsd.port.mk is default for all systems and not tunable. /etc/make.conf
 * (or similar thing) reflects per-system defaults. I.e. better leave
 * bsd.port.mk untouched and set every non-standard variable values
 * elsewhere.

I didn't mean you should change bsd.port.mk.  The descriptions should
stay there, and changes to the default can be made in /etc/make.conf.

 * Adding things from non-existance is harder than uncomment/edit some
 * pre-existen line, so it will be more comfortable to have _all_
 * bsd.port.mk variables mentioned in make.conf.ports

I disagree.  The header of bsd.port.mk is already over 200 lines
long.  It will be useless to duplicate that elsewhere because it will
very likely get out of sync very quickly (both because committers
can't remember to update the same thing in many places and because
/etc is not updated by "make world").

I've already said everything I want on this topic.  If we can agree to
disagree, I'm going to take out everything but HAVE_MOTIF in
/etc/make.conf.  Sorry, but that's my area.
