Some ports have a config make target which will save options. For
ports that do not, you can use pkgtools.conf and set MAKE_ARGS for
that port.
It may be that a port was modified to support the config target, but
you have not yet run make config for it. It should remember the
options after you make config and select the options you want
included/excluded.

settting
BATCH=YES
