Hi Doug,

This should work, but please test it to make sure:

  HOLD_PKGS = [
    'bsdpan-*',
    'php5*',
  ]

/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf is installed as part of the portupgrade
port (ports-mgmt/portupgrade or ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel).
portmaster has a "-x" option where you can specify a glob, like so:

portmaster -x 'php5*' -x 'foobar*' ...

I have not tested that either, so experimentat on some throwaway port first.

For portmanager, it reads pkgtools.conf for setting port build options,
but it looks to me like the pkgtools-to-portmanager.rb script converts
the contents of HOLD_PKGS to a form that portmanager understands.

Cheers,
Greg
