Is there a way to recursively 'make config' before installing a port with a lot of dependencies (similar to the way sysutils/portupgrade can recursively fetch with -RF)? If I want to install kde, for example, I'd prefer to configure options for each dependent port before installing. In other words, I don't want to set "BATCH=yes". However, without "BATCH=yes" I have to check the progress occasionally to configure some port because the build process stopped. I know this is only a big deal on the first install (because the options are saved), but it's rather annoying to start a kde compile before you go to bed and wake up with only a few ports installed...
