Bug in mail/mpop options list: only NLS appears in dialog

I notice a crippling bug in mail/mpop options: only NLS option appears in dialog, while Makefile shows SSL/TLS-related options as well.

I updated mpop as part of 
portmaster -r libtasn1
as prescribed in UPDATING file.

So I lost TLS support and can't download email any more, at least not with mpop:

mpop: support for TLS is not compiled in

So how do I get around this?  For now, I will have to use the mail archives on the FreeBSD web site.

I even tried editing /var/db/ports/mpop/options directly with vi, and adding to /etc/make.conf:

OPTIONS_SET.mpop=GNUTLS NLS

but nothing would make it stick, I still got the dreaded config dialog.

Or is something else broken in mail/mpop ?

How to set BATCH (syntax) for make and portmaster?

I need a way to configure options without ever again having to see a dialog!  Both for all ports and for individual ports, like my NetBSD /etc/mk.conf :

# Example /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf file produced by bootstrap-pkgsrc

.ifdef BSD_PKG_MK	# begin pkgsrc settings

.endif			# end pkgsrc settings
