Do we want a <port>-<papersize> for every papersize supported by
the port? (assumed answer for remainder of message is "yes" :).

Code to do try and find a <port>-<${PAPERSIZE}> when only the
<port> Makefile is run could be added to bsd.port.mk.
The ports currently using PAPERSIZE tend to have _otherwise_
smallish Makefiles (ie. not too many extract/patch/build hacks
needed). I would expect this trend to continue. All the real
info can be duplicated in each <port>-<papersize> Makefile
leaving <port> as nothing more than a placeholder.
Even if a port which needs extensive hacks comes-up, there's
always scripts/, which can be shared instead of the Makefile.

Code like this should really really really be moved to
bsd.port.mk!

OPTIMIZATION: the process of using many one-letter variables names
hoping that the resultant code will run faster.
