Is it possible to 'pass in' environment variables to the 'port install' command?

Or is the only way to pass something like CFLAGS to macports is through a portfile?

For example... I would like to
$sudo port install pan2 CFLAGS="-isysroot /Developers/SDKs/ MacOSX10.4u.sdk"

thoughts?

If your building a Portfile here is a piece of the postfix Portfile:

variant ldap description "add ldap support via openldap" {
    depends_lib-append  port:openldap
    set CCARGS      [concat ${CCARGS} -DHAS_LDAP]
    set AUXLIBS     [concat ${AUXLIBS} -lldap -llber]
}

`set' does not affect the environment at all, these are just local Tcl
variables.

If you need special variables in the environment for building, specify
configure.env (and build.env) in the Portfile. But also note there are
predefined options to set CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and others, namely
configure.cflags, configure.ldflags, etc. They should be preferred over
manipulating configure.env.

They are explained in the guide:
