This is not quite elinks issue, but -- I, in turn, have to confess, that I
always seen FreeBSD Ports as the build system, that mainly uses flags to
determine package functionalities and dependencies. Pkgsrc seems to be
rather using differently named packages (of course, when it is needed).

Compare for example how PHP is done in Ports and how it is done in pkgsrc.

Pkgsrc approach seems to be far more correct.
