This option is enabled by default, so the package should be built accordingly.
Are you sure you use official source for packages?

And all works fine.

Sorry, I was wrong: the port defaults to disabled VIMAGE option, this explains
your difficulty.

Vsevolid, please consider enabling option VIMAGE for net-mgmt/ng_ipacct for
branches having VIMAGE in GENERIC,
so the package would be usable out-of-the-box there.
