>Description:

When developing ports or debugging bsd.port.mk it would be helpful
to be able to display the values of bsd.port.mk variables.  The
small patch below adds a target "show" for this purpose.

From OpenBSD.

>How-To-Repeat:

Example:
$ make MASTER_SORT='.edu .com' show VARNAME=MASTER_SITES

 # Depend is generally meaningless for arbitrary ports, but if someone wants
 # one they can override this.  This is just to catch people who've gotten into
 # the habit of typing `make depend all install' as a matter of course.
