my own ports confusion (in general) is that in some ports
you use a "-Dxxxxxx" to define a required (or not required) option

It would be nice if all ports has the same standard of definitions.
Or... am I confused?
The two methods have the same result.
For example:
cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3
make -V WITHOUT_MOZILLA
Shows nothing, since that variable is undefined by default. Using -D
tells make to define it, which it does by setting it to "1":
make -DWITHOUT_MOZILLA -V WITHOUT_MOZILLA
1
Manually setting the variable to a value also defines it:
make WITHOUT_MOZILLA=1 -V WITHOUT_MOZILLA
1
make WITHOUT_MOZILLA=yes -V WITHOUT_MOZILLA
yes
The Makefiles usually only care about whether a WITH_ variable has been
defined, not the actual value, so the result is the same.
