Right - because it doesn't make sence to do so.
If you choose 'developer' during the 'standard installation' but later install
the XFree86 port, you essentially now have an 'X-Developer' distribution set.
In a well-maintained system, /etc/make.conf should reflect any alterations to
the base installation and the rest can be found in /var/db/pkg/*.
