The config values given in the Makefile are defaults. If you change
them, the options values are saved in /var/db/ports/<portname>/options. These
values override the defaults, and you will not be shown the dialog again
unless extra options have been added to the Makefile or --force-config is used.

Another method is to put variables in /etc/make.conf, but to prevent mistakes
you should only put those varialbes in /etc/make.conf that are not
supported by options. E.g. for mplayer I have the following in make.conf:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/mplayer}
WITH_DVD_DEVICE=/dev/cd1
WITH_CDROM_DEVICE=/dev/cd1
.endif

The if-construction is used to set these variables only when invoked in
the mplayer port directory, to prevent possible conflicts with other ports.
These particular variables have to be set in make.conf because the
options mechanism currently only supports yes/no values.
