Top of my head, no. However... OPTIONS= WITH_JAVA "With Java" on .include <bsd.port.options.mk> .if !defined(WITHOUT_JAVA) USE_JAVA=1.5+ .endif .include <bsd.port.pre.mk> --- do something with JAVA_PORT ---- .include <bsd.port.post.mk> I know this is rather strange, but that's how I see it being used.
