Is there a standard place for a port to document the various build,
install, and/or package-time KNOBS that they support/require?

I've been confused at times as I build/install stuff, and have watched
heads-ups go by about various ports (e.g. building uw-imap to support
unencrypted connections, vnc and the WITHOUT_SERVER knob).

I've taken to skimming all of the files in the port to see if
anythings rings a bell, but long for something like a pkg-README file
that would give me a heads-up.

Is there a standard place that I should be looking?
