Ebuilds must not try to manipulate variables like DIROPTIONS or INSOPTIONS directly. They should use the diropts or insopts functions instead.

PMS does not list *OPTIONS in the list of defined variables (i.e. those that are exported to the ebuild environment); the Devmanual does not mention these variables at all.

Looks like all uses are gone now.
