UNTESTED: In the /usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf file, add the
specific port(s) you are trying to bypass. 

EXAMPLE:

	IGNORE|www/tidy|

Again, this is untested, but I have used it for other ports that I
needed to skip.

I will have a look at the CPAN module:
CGI::Application::Plugin::CompressGzip later today or tomorrow and see
if I can make a port of it for you.
