It will use /etc/portsnap.conf by default. No need for -f unless you need 
to use a different config file.

By the way, in answer to your question in another thread, you don't have 
to extract the whole tree if you don't want to. Use 'portsnap fetch' the 
first time around, and then portsnap extract the port you want. See 'man 
portsnap', and remember to cater for the dependencies.
