There are a couple of reasons specifying the full path is more convenient:

1.  tab-completions work
2.  When dealing with system utilities like whereis(1), the full path is
displayed making double-click+middle click give you correct cmd

portmaster $FULL_PATH - $PORTSDIR is only useful for me in cases where I
remember exactly where the port lives.
