So this is just another take on this idea. I tend to use
poudriere's options directory mechanism (e.g.
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options) for this kind of thing. Three reasons
to prefer this:

1) It's less confusing and reserves make.conf for global ideas like
DEFAULT_VERSIONS.

2) Port specific options can change (e.g. when moving to new ports
quarterly)

3) Git works wonders in this context, since you can just make your
changes with 'poudriere options' and then commit the result. This
allows tracking of what options have changed.
