My 2 cents worth: the port maintainers usually do a good job of choosing sensible default options. I would just move everything out of /var/db/ports/ and see what a "synth upgrade-system" comes back with. My LiveSystem-make.conf only contains a handful of lines where I disagree with the port maintainers' choices.
