P.S.
Perhaps this information should also be somewhere in the Porter's Handbook.
It is scattered around in it:
WITH/WITHOUT:

USE:

Unfortunately WANT is only documented in bsd.port.mk itself. Does
anyone wish to take on the task of adding a tips-and-tricks entry
about the difference between the 3 to the PH?

Okay, I'll bite. However, I missed the earlier part of the thread and
the descriptions of the USE and WANT options weren't very clear to me.
Also I'm not sure where the text should go in the PH. Other than that,
it's quite clear. Maybe:
WITH_ and WITHOUT_ variables may be set by the port maintainer as
defaults, and modified by the end user as configuration options.
Example:
WITHOUT_X11= yes
USE_ variables are set by the port maintainer to define software on
which this port depends. Example:
USE_BZIP2= yes
WANT_ variables are set by the port maintainer to prefer one version or
variation of a dependency over another. Examples:
WANT_OPENLDAP_VER= 23
WANT_BDB_VER= 48
WANT_PGSQL_VER= 90
WANT_PHP_WEB= yes
