The downside of the whole thing is, that I did not make notes about all the WITH_FOO_BAR knobs that I did used while installing a port.
So adding options to /etc/make.conf or /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf at the time is a bit late.
There are some ports, like Samba, which will remember the options that you did specify after executing 'make config'. I would appreciate if any port would have such a facility.

Hello,
recently I did update my package tree using the portupgrade command. I was allways in doubt whether my ports will be build with the same WITH_FOO=yes options during an update, as I did built them manually before.
After a successfull update of the Gimp, I did notice that the Gimp wasn't built with the ...
WITH_PYTHON=yes
... option. How can I ensure that each of the WITH_XYZ knobs that I did specify during a manual installation of a port, will be recognized during an update as well?
Have a look at the MAKE_ARGS section of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf For instance: : MAKE_ARGS = { : 'graphics/gimp' => 'WITH_PYTHON=1', : }
Downside to this is it only works with portupgrade so if you ever have to upgrade a port without portupgrade (it happens), then you might just forget to specify the make args manually. Not a good thing to realise half way through a upgrade of kde :(
Should I, for example, specify those knobs in /etc/make.conf?
You could do I guess. The (possible) downside to this approach is that since a lot of ports share the same make args. All ports that have optional python support, not just gimp, would be built with the python bits which may be undesired. Python's just an example of course, some ports do have unique make args but a lot of them are generally shared by a bunch of ports. For instance I usally have WITHOUT_X11=yes in my make.conf on servers to stop anything X related being built.
