These kind of per-port settings cannot be easily injected into the
build.  I will be adding externally configurable hooks into TB probably
this weekend.  The idea there will be to allow further build
customizations, so that may be a way for you to accomplish what you want.

For now, you could adjust the build/jail/portstree env files, and build
one port at a time to get your customizations.
