I can't say I've ever seen anything like that myself, but I tend to set most
of them in make.conf like this:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/linuxpluginwrapper}
WITH_PLUGINS=yes
.endif
Turning things on globally seems a bit dangerous to me.

Roland Many ports fail if you try to use extravagant make flags like what you would use with Gentoo. The ones that I use for the most optimal performance are: *CPUTYPE?=* (Enter your CPUTYPE here, ex. prescott, p4, etc.) *CFLAGS= -O -PIPE* *COPTFLAGS= -O -PIPE* Place a space between the *=* and your options. These are systemwide commands that all ports will use during the build process. *CPUTYPE?=* An command for applications to be built with code optimizations for your CPU type, refer to the FreeBSD handbook for the different types available. The most common entries are *p4* if you have a Generic Pentium 4 (Northwood, etc) or *prescott* if you are using a P4 Prescott model processor. There are many for AMD also, these are listed in the handbook. *CFLAGS= -O -PIPE* Command optimizations for the GNU C compiler, -O and -PIPE I believe are standard for FreeBSD 6 Release, however I still include them in my Make.conf. -O2 / -O3 are additional options you can use instead of -O, however it is not recommended. I have used -O2 without any issues when building from ports, however I have noticed no difference between -O and -O2. *-O* sets the optimization level, in this case 1. *- PIPE* causes code to be passed between processes using pipes during compilation rather than using temporary files, which has obvious I/O advantages. *COPTFLAGS= -O -PIPE* Optimizational flags used when compiling your kernel, again I stick to what works -O and -PIPE. I have noticed no breakage when using -O2, but then again I have noticed no performance increase on my servers either. If you are just looking for some quick tweaks, these should set you on the right track.

Bull! Thanks, Roland. This is what I've missed all these days.

args to `make` within the ports tree
There appears to be so many arguments to `make` when compiling applications fro the ports tree.
