For instance I want to compile /usr/ports/www/php4-cgi with support for mysql and fastcgi, but looking in the port, all there exists is a Makefile containing little information. There are no subdirectories. Subdirectories are created during the make, but then presumably the default options have already been followed, leaving out mysql. Looking around for the answer, I noticed some others just download the package and install it separate from the ports. --
