There is a global /etc/mk.conf, although you have to create it. For instance:

$ cat /etc/mk.conf

...

PKG_OPTIONS.fetchmail= -gssapi -kerberos -kerberos4 ssl -socks4 -socks5

$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/fetchmail
$ make show-options

Any of the following general options may be selected:
        gssapi
        kerberos         Enable Kerberos support.
        kerberos4        Enable Kerberos4 support.
        ssl              Enable SSL support.
At most one of the following socks options may be selected:
        socks4   Enable Socks4 support.
        socks5   Enable Socks5 support.

These options are enabled by default:
        ssl

These options are currently enabled:
        ssl

You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
or PKG_OPTIONS.fetchmail.

Perhaps something like the following for packages:

        .if defined(BSD_PKG_MK)
        CFLAGS+=-march=i686 -pipe -fstack-protector
        CXXFLAGS+=${CFLAGS}
        .endif

I won't say anything about enabling such flags for the base system.
