By read, do you mean read the setting from make.conf or read the 
description? If the latter, quse reads it.

$ quse -D nvidia
 local:nvidia:gnome-extra/sensors-applet: Enable support for nvidia sensors
 local:nvidia:sys-power/cpufreqd: Enable nvidia overclocking (nvclock)
           plug-in
 video_cards.desc:nvidia: VIDEO_CARDS setting to build driver for nvidia
           video cards
