Thanks Bryan -- some other kind soul pointed out that this example is in
the ports man page.  Something I had not found before, sigh... We live
an learn and sometime even remember what we have learnt!

I would have found it really helpful if the 'make install' had warned me
that there were sub-packages and referred me to the man page.  I'd be
happy to submit a patch to do this if I could figure out where
bsd.port.mk lives.

I spent several hours going though the Makefile and googling but failed
to find the vital info.  I did see the sub package reference in the make
file but failed to figure out that these were imported from the
environment.

Cheers, Russell
