Yes, I do have a few ports with none-default options.  The problem is,

At present, these have to be built from ports.  Long-term, there is a
plan to have multiple packages for ports with options.


It seems like a completely unworkable solution to me. For example, say you have a port with 10 options. Imagine how many different binaries you would have to have to cover every possible combination of selected options. It would take a huge amount of storage

I can't say how it will work, just pointing out that until variant packages are available, ports with default options that aren't as desired still have to be built locally.
