Interestingly enough, after a bit of experimentation, it seems that the
default options are installed by err, default.  That is, in this case,
if one simply typed  

make PKG_OPTIONS.uim="-canna" it will install anthy and gtk.  It also
seems as if one doesn't need a + sign.  For example, mutt-devel installs
ssl by default.  Doing PKG_OPTIONS="slang" will install slang and ssl.  

Interesting.  Apparently not yet well-documented, the packages man page
doesn't even mention the show-options target.  On the other hand, I'm
not that familiar with NetBSD, so it might be in some other very obvious
place (the show-options target was mentioned in the netbsd.org's page on
using pkgsrc.)
