Thanks for the tip on config-recursive.

Just one question, does config-recursive also show the options for
optional dependancies?

For example, your building a port (with options) and use 'make
config-recursive'.  You enable a option in the port (was previously
unchecked), which causes a dependancy (LIB, RUN, ..) on another port
that also has options.  Will config-recursive show a dialog for the
optional dependancy port or will a second 'make config-recursive' be
needed?
