It's documented in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, together with most of the other port-related variables, and also in the default make.conf file (/etc/defaults/make.conf on 4.x, /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf on 5.x) Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

To some extend, ports(7) describes the available options for the ports collection. The ultimate reference, however, are the make files in ports/Mk themselves.
