If you're talking about the issue that the OP asked about, NO_PACKAGE is 
not in any way relevant.

If you're talking about some theoretical issue regarding that knob and 
the creation of ports by portmaster:
1. There are only about 125 ports that have that knob
2. They are almost all games or things that don't make sense to package 
anyway
3. There is already a mechanism to handle it if the user really wants to 
package it anyway

So I'm not concerned. :)
