Some ports have a config make target which will save options. For ports that do not, you can use pkgtools.conf and set MAKE_ARGS for that port. It may be that a port was modified to support the config target, but you have not yet run make config for it. It should remember the options after you make config and select the options you want included/excluded. Josh
