Some of these variables are somehow internal to the modules, and named this way (MOD*) because of bsd.port.mk . > MODGO_pre-configure > MODCARGO_post-extract > MODCARGO_post-patch > MODCABAL_post-extract > MODGNU_configure > MODGNU_gen > MODGO_pre-configure > MODHEIMDAL_post-patch > MODIMAKE_configure > MODKF5_post-install > MODMESON_configure > MODOCAML_pre-fake > MODPERL_configure > MODPERL_gen > MODPERL_pre-configure > MODPERL_pre-fake > MODQMAKE_build > MODQMAKE_configure > MODQMAKE_install > MODQMAKE_test > MODRUBY_pre-configure > MODXFCE4_gen > MODXFCE4_post-install port-modules.5 also recommands some variable names as MODFOO_BUILD_TARGET. I don't really see the point of document them. Please also keep in mind that specific documentation for variable modules was not really possible at the time of writing the modules as all the documentation for all the modules was inside port-modules.5 (so only important parts was included in this file to not make the file unreadable).
