Ruslan's NO_* change broke a lot of ports.  He's currently on vacation
for a few days, but I expect he'll fix these when he gets back.  If
you want to do it in the meantime (although we're in ports freeze
anyway so this won't be committed until after), the port needs to set
*both* NOMAN and NO_MAN (similarly for any other options like NOSHARED
and NOPROFILE), for compatibility with both 6.x and older.
