that's your personal preference, but this'll make it harder to diff
Makefiles :)

one thing you can eventually try to get away with the mozconfig is
generating it from pre-configure using CONFIGURE_ARGS, but putting the
pre-configure target **after** including bsd.port.mk, which would
evaluate the args from modules etc.

eg set your CONFIGURE_ARGS, and at the bottom of the Makefile:

 .include <bsd.port.mk>
post-configure:
	# XXX copy the mozconfig header/static lines
.for a in ${CONFIGURE_ARGS}
	echo "ac_add_options ${a}" >> ${MOZCONFIG}
.endfor

this might work, or not, is totally untested, and might attract dragons :)
