You could also go this route.

Look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk in this section:

.if defined(WITH_DEBUG) && !defined(WITHOUT_DEBUG)
STRIP=  #none
STRIP_CMD=      ${TRUE}
DEBUG_FLAGS?=   -g
CFLAGS:=                ${CFLAGS:N-O*:N-fno-strict*} ${DEBUG_FLAGS}
.endif

As you can see, if WITH_DEBUG is defined, then $STRIP will be a empty,
DEBUG_FLAGS and CFLAGS changes too.

Simply set 'WITH_DEBUG=yes' in the environment on on the command line.
I also set 'DEBUG_FLAGS=-ggdb3' which supplies slightly more output.
That is of course your call. It is important to realize that the
default is "CFLAGS=-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe". You need to change
the '02' to '0' or to insure that proper debug information is
available at run time. Using the 'WITH_DEBUG=yes' accomplishes that
objective.
