Thanks for working on this!

I assume you'll include this file from bsd.pkg.mk so it's available
for all packages.

Yes, that's easy:

BUILD_DEFS+= VARIABLE_NAME

will add "VARIABLE_NAME" do the build definitions, so you can query it
with "pkg_info -Q VARIABLE_NAME PKGNAME".

In this case, I think you want to adding

BUILD_DEFS+=  CPE_URI

to the end of cpe.mk.

Do you have a diff for an easy and a more complicated package, so we
can see what setting these variables will look like?
