No such feature is planned at this time.

Agreed, however at the moment I lack time to do a thorough job of
this. I did add a note to the just-committed 2.3 man page to tell the
user where to look though. I hope to update this for a future version.

You're absolutely right. I copied the code for this from mergemaster,
and neglected to fix the path. I have added support for /usr/local/etc
in version 2.3 and mentioned in the man page that /etc is deprecated.
In the next version the presence of /etc/portmaster.rc will throw an
error, and in the version after that it will be fatal.
Thanks for your interest and suggestions!
