Massive portupgrade without being interrupted by configuration screens?

[Thomas Mueller]

Thanks to all who responded, now I have several things to think about.

I will want to look at "perl-after-upgrade" script.  Even if I don't use it, it would likely be helpful to see what it does and guide me as to what I can do.

I also find I have a burning desire to check out pkgsrc (under NetBSD, now at 5.1 RC4) to see how it compares to FreeBSD ports.

With a massive portupgrade, I may be delayed in checking and responding to email.
