There are a few really good packages in ports that include a curses based
configuration utility (PHP being my most often used one) ... but there is
no "memory" between compiles, so you have to hope you don't forget an
option when you upgrade, and break an application that relies on that
option ...
Has anyone looked at what it would take to 'save' the configuration
between builds? Basically, if you build/install, it saves your build
options to a +CONFIG file or something like that ... when you go to build
it a second time (say to add a new option), it re-reads that file first
and sets the defaults based on that ... ?
