Well because CONFIGURE_ARGS is set with += and not ?= in bsd.port.mk
you can't just override it.  However if you want to resort to a
somewhat ugly hack then you can override ${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT}.  In the
Makefile you'd have something like this.

GNU_CONFIGURE=		yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS=		_myarch=${CONFIGURE_TARGET}
CONFIGURE_SCRIPT=	Myconfig

pre-configure:
	${CP} ${FILESDIR}/Myconfig ${WRKSRC}
	${CHMOD} +x ${WRKSRC}/Myconfig

And the replacement configure script would look something like this.

#!/bin/sh
args=`echo $* | sed -e"s/${_myarch}//"`
./configure $args

The only other way I can think would be to roll your do-configure
target in the Makefile.
