OpenBSD does not really encourage to tinker with ports that much.
Compiling from the ports is left for developers of the ports tree. Users
of the OpenBSD should be using the binary packages. The packages are
compiled most common options enabled but some packages provide few
different "flavors". For example if you install emacs with pkg_add it
will poll which flavor you want:
$ doas pkg_add emacs
quirks-7.53 signed on 2024-10-09T20:18:24Z
quirks-7.50->7.53: ok
Ambiguous: choose package for emacs
a 0: <None>
1: emacs-29.4p0-gtk2
2: emacs-29.4p0-gtk3
3: emacs-29.4p0-no_x11
So, start by using packages and see how it goes.
