Each of the Makefiles in /usr/ports/Mk has a long pre-amble documenting the various settings available. The convention is that variables starting 'WITH_' 'WITHOUT_' or 'WANT_' are user-settable; variables starting 'USE_' are for the port maintainer to deal with. Any section marked 'OPTIONS' causes the port to generate a popup menu allowing you to set the various flags listed either as 'WITH_FOO' or 'WITHOUT_FOO' -- those values are retained under /var/db/ports so you won't get the menu popup the second or subsequent times you make that port unless you specifically run 'make reconfig'. Note too that there are a number of ports that have variable settings which pre-date this convention: in those cases, you'll have to figure out from context what is user-settable and what isn't. Also note: most people find that using portupgrade(1) and friends to manage their ports gives best results. In which case, you can enter those make variables into the MAKE_ARGS array in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf -- one big advantage of doing that is it allows you to apply the make argument to building a specific port. I don't think there are any such conflicts, but there's no guarrantee that two ports won't use the same make variable with conflicting meanings.
