I'm afraid it doesn't work for me:

$ OPTIONS_SET="STATIC" make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for zsh-5.0.0:
     DEBUG=off: Install debug symbols
     DOCS=on: Build and install the documentation
     GDBM=off: Enable GDBM support (GPL)
     MAILDIR=on: Enable support for Maildirs in MAIL(PATH)
     MEM=on: Enable zsh-mem options
     MULTIBYTE=on: multibyte character support
     PCRE=off: Use Perl Compatible Regular Expressions
     SECURE_FREE=on: Enable zsh-secure-free
     STATIC=off: Build static executable/libraries
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

I also tried the other settings you suggested, and none
of them works.  It's always overridden by the settings
that are stored in $PORT_DBDIR.

With the old framework, I could override $PORT_DBDIR with
"WITH_ZSH_STATIC=true" ...  Can't this be done with the
new framework, too?

Best regards
