Is there a way to pass make args (other than -m) for each port?

If you want options that only apply to specific ports, then you can use
a construct like this:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/databases/mysql*}
WITH_CHARSET=utf8
WITH_XCHARSET=none
WITH_COLLATION=utf8_unicode_ci
WITH_OPENSSL=yes
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
WITH_INNODB=yes
WITH_ARCHIVE=yes
WITH_FEDERATED=yes
WITH_NDB=yes
WITH_CSV=yes
WITH_SPHINXSE=yes
.endif

Or, so you don't have one blobby make.conf that needs to be read for everything that uses FreeBSD's make, you can make a file called Makefile.local in the port's directory and set these. There are only a few special cases in which this won't work, because it is included at "the bottom of the port's Makefile", but then you can resort to /etc/make.conf.

        Cheers,

        Matthew

Yep. That's true. Unfortunately though if you use freebsd-update to update your ports tree it will blow away any additional files like that. csup(1) users will not have that problem.
