sysutils/portconf might allow you to do what you want. I just use the 
following construct in make.conf though, and it seems to work.

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/category/port}
or
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/category/port*}
put port specific defines here
.endif

BTW, questions like this probably are best served on questions@ instead 
of hackers at .

HTH,
