As it has been mentioned before, /etc/make.conf is read
first with your +=, setting CONFIGURE_ARGS to only this
one value. Then, Makefile of the port is read, and it
has a = in it, not a +=, so CONFIGURE_ARGS is overwritten
and your setting is gone.

Hint:

Maybe the Makefile.local mechanism of the ports is still
available. Then, you would add your += directive in a file
called Makefile.local in the port's directory. As far is I
know, Makefile.local is read after Makefile, so you can
profit from settings done in the first mentioned place.
