This is an error message primarily intended for using the
"configure" script (in the classic sense of "./configure &&
make && make install" way of installing things). Those options
will instruct "configure" how to generate the Makefile that
will control the build.

You should be able to use something like this:

	# ./configure --with-nss
	# make
	# make install

from within the port's work directory (just check where
the configure script is).

However, the FreeBSD ports infrastructure should be the
preferred means so you do not have to do this. :-)
