Here's what I do in pkgtools.conf since it is really useful:

# -*- ruby -*-
#
# pkgtools.conf - the configuration file for the pkgtools suite
#
# $Idaemons: /home/cvs/pkgtools/etc/pkgtools.conf,v 1.32 2003/10/19

require 'date'


<snip to the end of the file>


  # PORTUPGRADE_ARGS: string
  #
  # This sets the default options passed to portupgrade(1).
  #
  # e.g.:
  PORTUPGRADE_ARGS = ENV['PORTUPGRADE'] || \
  '-v -D -l /var/tmp/portupgrade.results_' + \
  DateTime.now.strftime("%Y%m%d-%H:%M:%S") + ' ' + \
  '-L /var/tmp/portupgrade/%s::%s.log'

  # PORTUPGRADE_ARGS = ENV['PORTUPGRADE']

end
