All port build tools make use of "make -V" to read vaiables. With this
warning in place, you get something like this: 

  #  make -V CONFLICTS
  "Makefile", line 106: warning: Option KEYRING needs PAM, but PAM is
  disabled. xscreensaver-[0-9]* xscreensaver-gnome-hacks-[0-9]*

which no tool is going to be able to parse. If you just do a "make
install", there wont be a problem, so it's understandable that it
wasn't spotted.
