I think the man page for make.conf will tell you what you need to know.
man make.conf
Additional, many ports have customizations that can be done to include/omit
optional parts of the port. This is a port-by-port situation, and each port
is different. Usually, looking at the Makefile for the particular port will
tell you what you need to know.
If this doesn't answer your questions, please post again.
