WITH_FOO and WITHOUT_BAR is pretty much out of date now.  The OPTIONS
mechanism doesn't use that syntax any more -- there are a few variables
of that form still around, but many fewer than previously.

So, for example, where, in /etc/make.conf, you might once have used:

WITHOUT_X11= yes
WITHOUT_NLS= yes

to turn off X11 and NLS support generally, nowadays you'ld use:

OPTIONS_UNSET+= X11 NLS

You can also turn options on or off per port by:

portname_SET= FOO BAR
portname_USET= BAZ BLURFL

Now, OPTIONS_SET, OPTIONS_UNSET, portname_SET or portname_UNSET are
overridden by anything that is configured per port using an options
dialogue.  If you prefer /etc/make.conf to take precedence, then use
OPTIONS_SET_FORCE, OPTIONS_UNSET_FORCE, portname_SET_FORCE or
portname_UNSET_FORCE.

`portname' is the output of:

   make -C /usr/ports/category/port -V OPTIONS_NAME

eg,

# make -C /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin -V OPTIONS_NAME

databases_phpmyadmin

All this stuff goes into /etc/make.conf, which is safe from being
trashed when you update your ports tree.  There are also some make(1)
command line options which have the ultimate level of override:

   make -C /usr/ports/exitors/emacs WITHOUT='X11 XFT XIM XPM' WITH='XML'

Read the comments in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.options.mk for more information.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
