----------------------------------
# grep ports /etc/make.conf
.include "/etc/ports.conf"
# cat /etc/ports.conf | wc -l
      223
----------------------------------

/etc/ports.conf:
----------------------------------
.if defined(GCC4)
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc42
CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++42
.endif

.if !defined(NODEBUG)
# Debug mode...
CFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -g
STRIP=
.else
CFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
.endif

BATCH=		yes
WITHOUT_OPTIONS=yes
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes
[...]

# devel/boost
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/boost}
WITH_PYTHON=yes
.endif

# editors/gedit
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/gedit}
WITH_GNOME=pygtksourceview
.endif

[...]
----------------------------------

You can use ports-mgmt/portconf instead if you like it better than that  
'.if ${.CURDIR:...}'.
