Indeed, the pre-built packages will be built with different options 
depending on the person doing the builds (for the most part that means 
per-OS, at this point).

The FreeBSD packages are built using the packaging from the FreeBSD Ports 
Collection (well, a local version that gets committed to the ports tree a 
little later), in build chroots that are a stock "base system" for the 
corresponding release.  That means that the compiler used is clang for 
10.0 and newer, and gcc for older releases.

The options to configure are:
--prefix=${PREFIX} --localstatedir=/var --mandir=${PREFIX}/man
--with-bsd-kernel-headers-${SRC_BASE}/sys 
--with-bsd-kernel-build=${WRKDIR}/conf --enable-debug 
--enable-debug-kernel --enable-debug-lwp 
--includedir=${PREFIX}/include/openafs --disable-fuse-client
