Is ports-mgmt/portconf what you are looking for?
I didn't know about ports-mgmt/portconf (will check it out now) but what
I use is the make.conf file.
This blog post
(http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/01/14/upgrading-ports-and-preserv
e-mak e-options) is what enlightened me. And here's how the application
specific bits of my make.conf file looks:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/shells/bash}
WITH_STATIC_BASH=yes
PREFIX=/
.endif
<snip>
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Also, if you use portupgrade there's a MAKE_ARGS section
of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
Yes, but the problem with sepcifying custom options in there is that
sometimes portupgrade ignores it. I don't know for a fact, but the blog
post I linked to above mentions so.
Say, bash and its dependency gettext have updates. And you have specified
some custom options for gettext in pkgtools.conf. If you upgrade gettext
directly using portupgrade, then these options get honoured. Instead, if
you upgrade bash and gettext gets upgraded as a result of that, then the
pkgtools.conf options are not honoured. So the only solution then is to
use the make.conf file coz that's always honoured. (From what I see, the
portconf tool too adds its stuff to the make.conf file).
Please correct me if I've understood wrong.

Rakhesh
