That would be use.defaults, which I personally think is evil. The idea behind it is if you install a package, then you want to turn on the corresponding USE flag. All of the current definitions can be found in $PORTDIR/profiles/base/use.defaults It contains a list of USE flags followed by the package that automatically turns that flag on.
