We used to have Tinderbox for the purpose, and now we have Poudriere,
please use that for your purpose.
Portmaster is, by contrast, a tool that focuses on rebuilding a port
using, well, the port in the existing system,
without building a gazillion of requisite other ports for the chroot
first, which easily ends up building some 400 packages when you just
want a convenient way to update ONE port, perhaps with a special
configuration.
