You want to use PLIST_SUB where a variable optionally gets the value 
"@comment ".

There are many examples in the ports.  For example, math/oleo - see how 
it handles the NLS option.

(A paragraph about this would make a good addition to 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/plist.html#PLIST-SUB).
