I think you're looking for all the WITHOUT knobs in src.conf(5).

Starting with RELENG_7, all of the NO knobs for removal of features in
the base system were moved into /etc/src.conf and renamed to WITHOUT.
Some may also have changed names, so look closely.

Note that src.conf(5) does not apply to RELENG_6 or earlier, where the
knobs are named NO_xxx. You can get a list of those from
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf.

Hope this helps.
