The problem with most(?) software building configurations in the FreeBSD ports
collection is that they assume they use /usr/local for installation. I for
myself would like to see a building-process that regards a user-setable $PREFIX
(or whatever), that's regarded during package bilding.

Besides that, some config-file which sets options for (all) packages could come
handy, so one can say (on a system-wide basis) whether the system's US-resident
or not, whether to use SOCKS if the package supports it, etc.
