In addition to what Stijn and Kent have already said, you can override
the defaults by setting an appropriate value in MAKE_ARGS in
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. For example, I have this set for Samba:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'net/samba*' => [
'BATCH=yes',
'WITH_UTMP=yes',
'WITH_SYSLOG=yes',
'WITHOUT_CUPS=yes',
'WITH_RECYCLE=yes',
],
}
At each subsequent upgrade, the configured set of options will be passed
to the ports system.
I find this aspect of portupgrade very useful.
