Not really. For FreeBSD < 2.2, it should read:
options "MAXMEM='(128 * 1024)'"
For versions >= 2.2, use:
options "MAXMEM=(128 * 1024)"
For the curious: the difference is that all options have been passed
through a shell previously, hence the quoting was needed (but removed
by the shell called by `make'). Now, they go into opt_foo.h header
files. That's also referred to as ``new-style'' options.
