Yes you can, another possibility if you don't like the dialog UI but still want
the other possible interractions then just provide NO_DIALOG=true in
/etc/make.conf

You can do the same with the new OPTIONS framework:
OPTIONS_SET= VORBIS # enable vorbis options everywhere
OPTIONS_UNSET= NLS # disable NLS on all your ports
zsh_SET= PCRE # enable PCRE only for zsh
zsh_UNSET= DOCS # disable docs in the case of zsh

NO_DIALOG=yes in make.conf and you can run portmaster without getting messge up
by an OPTIONS dialog
