The simplest way is to use conditionals in /etc/make.conf
depending on the ports directory:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/somecategory/someport}
CFLAGS=  -O3 -pipe
CFLAGS+= -DSOMETHING
.endif

 > CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe

Using -O2 without -fno-strict-aliasing will break certain
programs.  The default is -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
and it is _not_ recommended to override it globally, or
otherwise you're guaranteed to shoot yourself in the foot,
sooner or later.

That will break kernel compiles.  Again, you should not
override COPTFLAGS, unless you know exactly what you're
doing.

Best regards

Interesting. No wonder I didn't have it in my Gentoo /etc/make.conf. It appears (from what I see) that maybe -fno-strict-aliasing has been enabled by default (at least it doesn't show up in the GCC 4.1.1 manpage on FC5).
