>Description:
/usr/ports/security/stunnel/pkg-deinstall says:

[[[
    if [ -z "${PACKAGE_BUILDING}" -a -z "${BATCH}" ]; then
        read -p "${question} [${default}]? " answer
    fi
]]]

Neither environment variable is typically set. In particular, BATCH=yes may be a _make_ variable (and my pkgtools.conf has this:)

[[[
  MAKE_ARGS = {
       '*/*' => 'BATCH=yes',
]]]

which works with every other port. I don't know if there is actually an environment variable you might make use of, but this behaviour could do with documenting.
>How-To-Repeat:
portupgrade -f security/stunnel
>Fix:
Well, a workaround is to supply an appropriate environment as well as the makevar in pkgtools.conf; don't know if this could be engineered to occur in a makefile; I document this in case anyone else bumps into it.
