I'm new to FreeBSD, coming from a Linux background. I want to install a port, changing one of the default configuration options, in a non-interactive way (so that I can script the installation for automated configuration of my FreeBSD servers).
As a specific example, the graphics/ImageMagick-nox11
port has a default configuration option of PERL=on
. I want to change this. I realize that I can make config
and then just use the generated entry in /var/db/ports/
to avoid any interaction in the future, but this still requires the initial interaction to set the options in the ncurses interface.
Ideally I want to be able to do something like the following, to build the package with perl support disabled but accepting all other defaults:
$ make PERL=off BATCH=yes install clean
What is the proper way to accomplish this? Can I somehow place port-specific configuration options like this in /etc/make.conf
?

I think ports-mgmt/portconf will do what do you want:
