Even easier, use portmaster. The first thing that do when
installs a
port is making recursive all the "make config"
windows of the port and
dependencies. After you have chosen the options of the last
config
menu, it will install all the stuff till the end without
interruption
(except error of course).

Portmanager doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, and
it's by far the 
slowest upgrade tool around. People who use it do so because
it's the most 
thorough tool around. By contrast portmaster uses a fairly
minimalist 
approach.

Portmaster is a clear alternative to portupgrade, it's not
really a 
replacement for portmanager.

I think I missed something on this thread, but I am still
not clean
about the 'stuck on config window' thing. Personally, I have
preconfigured all of the ports I have installed on my
system. Now I just
have:

	/etc/make.com
	[...]
	BATCH=yes

and everything build just fine. Obviously, you can place the
'BATCH'
directive in the environment also.  Actually, the only
problem I use to
experience was with Apsfiler. I wrote the maintainer and I
believe that
they corrected the problem.

Yes, I definitely prefer 'portmanager' over portmaster
although that is
a nice light weight program.
