Let me think about how to implement this. I use a bash completion to make 
life simpler, but I agree that it's worthwhile. (Beware line wrap)

_portmaster () {
         local cur
         cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}

         case "$cur" in
         /usr/ports/*)
                 COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -d $cur ) )
                 ;;
         */*)    COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -d /usr/ports/$cur ) )
                 ;;
         *)      COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -d /var/db/pkg/$cur ) )
                 COMPREPLY=( ${COMPREPLY[@]#/var/db/pkg/} )
                 COMPREPLY=( ${COMPREPLY[@]:-} $( compgen -d /usr/ports/$cur 
  ) )
                 ;;
         esac

         return 0
}
complete -F _portmaster portmaster

That's next on my list. :)

Yep, braino on my part. I uploaded a version that fixes that issue. Thanks 
for pointing this out.

*shudder* Way too complex for my tastes. I'd rather rebuild the ports that 
depend on that library.

Thanks! And thanks again for the thought you've put into the feedback you've 
given.
