Hey because I don't feel like making a phone call to my BSD expert, is that a flag? Like in Gentoo it would be like

USE="debugger" emerge -vaD bochs #portage reads env and will set flags this way or in /etc/portage/packages.use/bochs (folder name packages.use is arbitrary and I'm old school.)

Curious if BSD is like that too and I am way to tired to attempt to search for it with correct words...

You don't do that systemwide in FBSD, instead during the build from source for that single port. Optionally even interactively by curses interface.
