Just to throw in my 2 cents, as far as I understand the way the OPTIONS list
works, when the Makefile has the option (say, option XXX) as on, it sets
WITH_XXX, and if the Makefile has the option off, it sets WITHOUT_XXX. The port
maintainer should be checking if the opposite is defined in case the user
decides they want the opposite effect to occur. So in your example, WITH_SERVER
would be set because of OPTIONS, and the Makefile should be checking if
WITHOUT_SERVER is set by the user. If the Makefile isn't checking
WITHOUT_SERVER and only checking WITH_SERVER, you'll never have the option to
enable or disable the option at will. That's been my take on it, and it seems
to be valid. If any part of what I've said is wrong or hard to understand, let
me know.

So, this tells me that by default it should be on, correct?
Yet the port throughout the makefile references WITHOUT_SERVER. I've
tried various combinations of WITH_SERVER and WITHOUT_SERVER and I can't
seem to disable WITHOUT_SERVER.
A couple one-line examples in the manpage would clear this up a lot.
I checked the handbook, the ports manpage, and I even looked at the
ports default makefile.
And finally, once I've figured out how to do this, how/where are we
supposed to override this so I never have to deal with it again? I
always want a server built.
Thanks,
