No, it's a definite problem. If you have CFLAGS set in make.conf (this is
a prerequisite for demonstrating the problem), you cannot override it from
within a port, e.g. if you need to add a -DFOO setting to get it to
compile.
I had to hack around this in USE_OPENSSL by adding an OPENSSL_CFLAGS which
needy ports would be taught to use. See pipsecd and bonnie for two ports
which want to play with CFLAGS.
