 Yes.
 
 There's no variable for pkgsrc-default-on options yet; currently, the
 processing looks first at the PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS options (then
 legacy options), then PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS and finally at
 PKG_OPTIONS.<package>. We just have to prepend the global options as
 first.
 
 See pkgsrc/mk/bsd.options.mk starting from line 268 ("process options
 from generic to specific").
 
 The patch could look something like:
 -.for _o_ in ${PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS} ${PKG_LEGACY_OPTIONS} \
 -        ${_OPTIONS_DEFAULT_SUPPORTED} ${${PKG_OPTIONS_VAR}}
 +.for _o_ in ${_PKGSRC_DEFAULT_OPTIONS} ${PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS} \
 +        ${PKG_LEGACY_OPTIONS} ${_OPTIONS_DEFAULT_SUPPORTED} \
 +        ${${PKG_OPTIONS_VAR}}
 and we'd need to find a nice place where to define
 _PKGSRC_DEFAULT_OPTIONS.
