This isn't just about PKG_OPTIONS, e.g.

        PLIST_VARS+=    cifsmount

        .if ${OPSYS} == "Linux"
        PLIST_VARS.cifsmount=   defined
        .endif

Of course, having a default of:

        PLIST_VARS+=    ${PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS}

would be worth considering if that's the most common case, but I haven't 
investigated whether that's true yet or not.
