If all you want to do is inspect the output from your command, then
simply use script(1) to save a transcript of the output. script(1)
comes with the system. Use it like this:
% cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
% script /tmp/make.out sudo make install
And /tmp/make.out will contain a transcript of everything that appears
on your screen during the course of doing that job.
Cheers,
Matthew
