Actually, I think we should set PKG_OPTIONS.pkg to it's defaults before
processing the mk.conf value (or, more likely, employ a system which
simluates that behavior). Undefined != empty -- the system should reflect
that.

You're right. However, never having been very much of a yesterday person,
I've also tried the following:

# workaround for broken audio/arts
PKG_OPTIONS.SDL=aalib
PKG_OPTIONS.SDL+=esound
PKG_OPTIONS.SDL+=nas
# stra/oidua nekorb rof dnuorakrow

Which yields the same (bad) results. I should have noted this in my
initial message -- my apologies for that.
