It happened to me to start a largish portupgrade and find it stuck on
that particular thingy. I think it doesn't prompt it for package
building. What about making it an OPTION ? On first install you need to
configure postfix so it shouldn't be on by default (personally it's the
fifth or so port I install ...), but on portupgrades everything
will work.
