Port configuracion and compilation

Hello all,

One little question. I have package collections of packages made =
(packages created by compiling ports and later pkg_create -Rb) for my =
freebsd provisioned releases with the servers I need to provision (mail, =
web, etc)...

now imagine, someone in some of those provisioned servers (with =
provisioned packages, installed with a pkg_add * from the directory =
where are packages provisioned downloaded from one of my servers) one =
sysadmin goes to compile another port (I install in provisioned servers =
the ports that come with the installed release which are the same ports =
as which with I make the provisioned packages) which has as dependency =
an installed package... for example don't know... let's imagine Postfix =
has libiconv or any as dependency... when you do from =
/usr/ports/mail/postfix a make config-recursive... although libiconv is =
installed it asks you for compilation options... what happens if the =
user is compiling postfix, sets for example libiconv options as default =
(with default options) and if the package previously compiled by me for =
libiconv has not the default options? imagine has less options =
(features) for example... could this break something??. I mean when =
Postfix (or whatever package with installed dependencies) is compiled, =
the freebsd ports system looks for something at /var/db/ports/*/OPTIONS =
or similar?? or ports are just compiled as the given options to them and =
although you specify anything for installed dependencies in the ncurses =
menu for configuring the dependency port (launched by config-recursive) =
it just compiles the port you are compiling (so basically what you want =
to install, the software is not at the moment on the machine) and with =
the options specified for the compiling port ignoring how dependecies =
are in /var/db/ports/*/OPTIONS?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Good bye.=
