'portinstall' is just shorthand for 'portupgrade -N'. If you want to
force removal and reinstallation of a package already on your system
use 'portupgrade -f'

If you're using portupgrade why not just add the make variables to
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf? That way you can apply them to just the
package or packages they're supposed to affect:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'mail/mailman' => 'CGI_GID=65533',
'databases/mysql323-server' => 'SKIP_INSTALL_DB=yes',
}
Cheers,
Matthew
