Only by experience, or by reading through the port's Makefile. You can switch off the interactive configuration by setting 'BATCH=3Dyes' in make's argument list. Most of the ports that use interactive configuration will in any case turn off the interactive stuff if you give them any WITH_FOO or WITHOUT_BAR options.
