I didn't see it in any docs (but i didn't read any :), but you can see it in
several Makefiles in the pkgsrc. You can either set it as environment prior
doing the build, or put it in /etc/mk.conf to use it in every future build.

I recently found lots of them in some google search, and some others came from
reading the Makefiles.

Hm. Due to this being package dependent stuff, the best place would be in
pkgsrc itself, maybe some kind of "make info" could output the possible
settings for this particulat package. But for those zillions of packages it
would take quite a lot of time to implement this. Just an idea... This could
take some new file (e.g. /usr/pkgsrc/security/openssh/OPTIONS) or so, which
could just being printed out if present, or, if it doesn't exist, a message
like "no known options for this package" could be printed.
