Hello,

It uses /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. I doubt the options in there
are officially documented, unless they are in the Developer's
Handbook. There used to be a really good replacement for make
search that had a lot of nifty options. Because I rarely used it
(or make search), what it was called is lost to the mists of
foggy memory....

Regards,
