In addition to what Stijn and Kent have already said, you can override the defaults by setting an appropriate value in MAKE_ARGS in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. For example, I have this set for Samba: MAKE_ARGS =3D { 'net/samba*' =3D> [ 'BATCH=3Dyes', 'WITH_UTMP=3Dyes', 'WITH_SYSLOG=3Dyes', 'WITHOUT_CUPS=3Dyes', 'WITH_RECYCLE=3Dyes', ], } At each subsequent upgrade, the configured set of options will be passed to the ports system. I find this aspect of portupgrade very useful.
