not sure about setting the options for a particular port, but i
think you can build it with various flags set when you pull down
the src. at any rate, since most drives are HUGE these days,
enabling all/most options doesn't eat up that great a percent of
the disk. and yeah, that's just my guess.
note that i've been using freebsd since '95 and linux since '05.
