1) You can't build a dependent port and first set the config for the

get the chance to check the saslauthd option, for example.

As the ports man page states:

# make config-recursive

does what you want. It's surprising how often people claim this feature is
missing, even though it has been there ever since I started using FreeBSD.

And it's surprising how often people don't listen when I explain that config-recursive is not a complete solution. :) It builds the list first, so that if you enable an option that creates a dependency on another port it will be missed. Portmaster does not have that limitation because it runs 'make config' before doing the dependency check for each port.
