It seems not to be recursive as this would mean that with every change of an option of the root port or it's dependencies dependencies of the root port might change. This could mean that make config needs to be invoked for a port that wasn't in the inital dependecy list of root port. The "root of all evil" seems to be in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk line 6187 ff. You might want to use ports-mgmt/portmaster. It creates options-files of a port and it's dependencies in a better way before starting to compile ports. Regards, kaltheat
