Okay, I see that there is already a USE_OSS flag (which is undefined 
default) and it is checked in kdemultimedia3:

.if defined(USE_OSS)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-audio=oss
.endif

My question is wether I can implement this by just adding a USE_GTK 
flag in bsd.pkg.defaults.mk? Is there some kludge that needs changing 
elsewhere?

If I can add the USE_GTK option that simply then, I can muck with the 
Makefiles myself and should have a gtk-free set of packages quite 
soon...

Anyone?
