>Description:
Installing ports with config options into new FreeBSD environments using the new DESTDIR support for ports doesn't work. It leaves the console with a blank screen and a cursor blinking at the lower right corner. Presumably, it is possible to interact blindly with the config screen (e.g. press Esc to choose the default options), but the option screen never shows.

As a workaround, placing the /var/db/ports/myport/options file inside the chroot lets "make install clean" complete.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/benchmarks/super-smack
make config DESTDIR=/path/to/chroot
