A probably more elegant way is to use the ports-mgmt/portconf port. 
This allows per port settings to be applied, which are honored by make,
portupgrade and the other tools. Just install and use
/usr/local/etc/ports.conf to add your options:

 Here is the sample supplied with the portconf:

editors/openoffice.org-2: WITH_CCACHE|LOCALIZED_LANG=it
print/ghostscript-* print/lpr-wrapper: A4
sysutils/fusefs-kmod*: !KERNCONF | !NOPORTDOCS
www/firefox-i18n: WITHOUT_SWITCHER | FIREFOX_I18N=fr it
x11/fakeport: CONFIGURE_ARGS=--with-modules="aaa bbb ccc"
