Indeed, it's been discussed several times in the list, but you can set
some 'if' conditions in your make.conf regarding which directory you are
when you invoke make.
example shamelessly taken from a post[1] in this list :
-------------------------------------------------------
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/graphics/gimp*}
WITH_PYTHON= true
WITHOUT_PRINT= true
WITH_HTML_HELP_BROWSER=true
.endif
For the install in background, I usually use screen during my monthly
'portupgrade -raf' sessions. my 0.02$.
