I find the portconf method a little easier to manage - installing=20
ports-mgmt/portconf adds some lines to your make.conf, which allow you
to set options for your ports in a file called /usr/local/etc/ports.conf.
For example,
mail/exim: WITH_MYSQL=3D1 | WITH_SPF=3D1
The file is honoured by manual builds, and by the likes of portinstall,
portmaster etc.
