Where are these make options in ports documented? I'd like to know all

1] There is a script for searching the ports too.  Check out 
/usr/ports/Tools/scripts
for the portsearch script, and it's man page, README.portsearch. Plenty of 
search options
in there.

2] I normally just use the freebsd.org ports web page to search for a port. It 
has the
best interface.

3] I talk about the ports Makefile here:

A target that tells me what a port has in the way of options would be nice too.


For that, you just need to read the Makefile in the port folder.  It's usually 
pretty
self explanatory.

UNIX is user-friendly. It's just a bit picky about who its friends are.

Most of the make targets available are documented in the ports(7) manpage.
