Thanks...this was helpful in resolving the error though not through
src.conf.  The Makefile implemented these options using the form MK_* as
opposed to WITHOUT_*.  Changing Makefile accordingly resolved the error.

Review of the same Makefile in the releng/10.0 and releng/10.1 branches
shows they use the form WITHOUT_*.  Does this signal that FreeBSD 11.x will
implement MK_* instead or does this change to WITHOUT_* for the releng/
branches?
