I don't know of any other portfiles that have to deal with this  
(there may be some, though).

If there's no easy way of doing it (which is possible), you can  
override the configure phase and substitute whatever you want (since  
the portfiles are tcl scripts that are executed you should be able to  
do whatever you want from there).
