Why not? What did you put in /etc/make.conf?
I just tried rebuiding textproc/ispell with ISPELL_FR=yes in my
make.conf file. Ports correctly tries to build ispell with French
support by typing:
# cd /usr/ports/txtproc/ispell
# make

Another possibility is to create a metaport, that depends on other
ports. I call mine my-workstation, and I have created it under
/usr/ports/misc/my-workstation. The purpose of this port is not to
build anything or install anything of its own; just to have proper
dependencies for all the programs I usually want around. The Makefile
of that port includes:
# Feature customization for the `contained' ports.
.MAKEFLAGS+= WITHOUT_X11=YES \
ISPELL_FR=YES \
ISPELL_IT=YES \
WITH_SSL=YES
These flags are passed down to all the dependencies of the port, when
it's installed. This way, all the ports that my-workstation pulls in
by dependencies will compile without X11 support, ispell will include
both Italian and French support, Pine will have SSL support compiled
in by default, etc.
