Portconf wouldn't work on my system, because the location /usr/ports is hard coded,
and that's only a link on my system. I'm using buildflags, because that is a lot
more flexible.

Anyway, it's a fact that normally a port gets CC from the ports framework. And if
a port doesn't have a configure target it will not get it from there. That this
doesn't actually have an effect for 'most' people doesn't mean that it is not a problem.

I think CC and CXX should generally go into MAKE_ENV.
