No problem there, I used that method for a long time before the 
ports system matured.

That's what I started working from as well, but it seemed that many 
of the "--enable-this" and "--enable-that" flags cited were in fact 
the build defaults of the ports in question.

I didn't get very far though, as I decided to table experiments 
until I could set up a fresh VMware environment for it and install 
FBSD 6.2-R. That way I can be better prepared to do clean rollbacks 
in case of pilot error. Sounds like you'll have found any exceptions 
before I get a chance to make much more progress. Thanks!
