I have tested this with CFLAGS=-g in /etc/make.conf

/usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd# make -dA

...
Global:CFLAGS = -g -I/usr/local/include
...
(cd /usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd/work/webcamd-0.1.0; if ! /usr/bin/env
SHELL=/bin/sh NO_LINT=YES PREFIX=/usr/local  LOCALBASE=/usr/local
X11BASE=/usr/local  MOTIFLIB="-L/usr/local/lib
 -lXm -lXp" LIBDIR="/usr/lib"  CC="cc" CFLAGS="-g -I/usr/local/include"
 CXX="c++" CXXFLAGS="-g -I/usr/local/include"  MANPREFIX="/usr/local"
 BSD_INSTALL_PROGRAM="install  -s -o root -g
  wheel -m 555"  BSD_INSTALL_SCRIPT="install  -o root -g wheel -m 555"
  BSD_INSTALL_DATA="install  -o root -g wheel -m 444"
  BSD_INSTALL_MAN="install  -o root -g wheel -m 444" make -f M
  akefile   all; then  if [ x != x ] ; then  echo "===> Compilation
  failed unexpectedly.";  (echo ) | /usr/bin/fmt 75 79 ;  fi;  false;
  fi)
...
Global:CFLAGS = -g

So CFLAGS is being properly passed to the
/usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd/work/webcamd-0.1.0/Makefile via the
environment but its getting overridden and causing the reported build error.
