This has the following problem
Apply patches to {configure.ac,Makefile.am} and run autoreconf
versus
Apply patches to {configure,Makefile.in} and run ./configure immediately
Incidentally, some ports (e.g. security/heimdal*) do not know which it is.

With -X (or --exclude-from) of tar, a list of unwanted files can be made into a file.
If the file is subject to SUB_FILES, the options also allow selection of unnecessary files.
... I have thought about this for a moment.
It was impossible because the timing when SUB_FILES is extracted is much later than when it is possible to do so.
