This is true for most ports at least, but perhaps not true for all of them.
 For example the QT4_OPTIONS controls some rather critical functionality
which is compiled into the packages however doesn't end up in a default
port install without other modification in make.conf.  It
wouldn't surprise me at all if there were a few port config screens that
didn't match a package's selected options.
