Indeed, it's been discussed several times in the list, but you can set
some 'if' conditions in your make.conf regarding which directory you are
when you invoke make.


example shamelessly taken from a post[1] in this list : 
-------------------------------------------------------

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/graphics/gimp*}
WITH_PYTHON=    true
WITHOUT_PRINT=  true
WITH_HTML_HELP_BROWSER=true
.endif

For the install in background, I usually use screen during my monthly
'portupgrade -raf' sessions. my 0.02$.


Cheers,
Geraud
