OK, great.  Thanks for that.

But here's what I don't understand.  If you run make options in the port, 
you get --with-mail-gid=foo.  So why is it MAIL_GID=foo in the 
pkgtools.conf file?  Is this in the handbook somewhere?  Or in the man 
pages?  Cause obviously I'm confused about how you determine the precise 
syntax so this actually works.
