Start with /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk and if you're ears aren't
bleeding, work out from there. That defines (nearly) all the USE_ and
WANT_. WITH_ and WITHOUT_ are port specific, though there are some
that are used in multiple places. Those are defined by an OPTIONS
directive in the individual port makefile like this:
OPTIONS= FOO "Description of foo" off \
BAR "Descprtion of bar" on
Where FOO or BAR is the option name, then a description, then a
default state.
