thanks, historical cruft is not a good justification but is certainly
understandable.

Unfortunately, no. Let me ask something different. Is there a way to say
"configure recursively all uninstalled ports required for this port"?

Thanks, yes, that is more useful for my situation in most cases. However,
in this case some of the dependent ports don't have a package, so it would
still be nice to configure only those ports without packages prior to doing
a build. I guess that means doing something like
make missing | xargs -L 1 pkg install -Ay
make missing | xargs -L 1 make config
