bsd.port.mk is portmgr territory (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool)

What is the point of having this variable?  What functionality it brings over 
explicit listing of the dependency in the port Makefile?

I'd rather see USE_FREETYPE removed. It's not simplifying the ports,
we're talking about replacing one LIB_DEPENDS line with one USE_* line.

It's now using GIFs instead of JPEGs. This is similar to replacing
triangular wheels with round ones.
