portconf ties itself into make.conf.
It does have global port settings and basically anything that can handle
a glob. For a partial example:
*: PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.6 |\
SRC_BASE=/usr/FreeBSD/branches/stable/8/src |\
SYSDIR=/usr/FreeBSD/branches/stable/8/src/sys |\
WITH_NVIDIA_GL
java/eclipse*: WITH_GECKO=xulrunner
mail/*pine*: WITH_ISPELL |\
WITH_LDAP |\
WITHOUT_PICO
multimedia/mkvtoolnix: WITHOUT_WXGTK=yes
pear*: WITH_CTYPE
OK. Some of the examples are old (i.e., java/eclipse and
WITH_GECKO=xulrunner), but you get the idea.
