Firstly, thank you for such nice and handy tool. Secondly, would suggest you few handy options of portmaster: - if port fails give it a second try with question 'Retry?'. A user may change some influencing options, for e.g. compiler from gcc 4.2 to 4.6 or clang, before proceeding new try; - if port fails give the whole process second try suggesting restart from the ascend port 'Retry from the ascend port and reconfigure it?', so the user has opportunity to disable failing sibling. Such options are quite handy for large bunches like x11/gnome2|kde4, when one has 300-500 ports to build and wouldn't oblige to restart the whole process each time within failure appears.
