I don't see any patches for portconfig in the main ports tree, even in the
official cgit repository.  I made that patch myself, so am curious what you're
seeing and where?

Is your issue that when running 'make config', the UI gets drawn using
letters/numbers instead of box-drawing characters?  I use either ISO-8859-1 or
ISO-8859-15 for locale in most of my connections to my home systems running
FreeBSD, and only switch to UTF-8 when absolutely needed.  If in either
ISO-8859-* locale, without my patch, 'make config' cannot properly draw the
curses-based UI; it's just garbled instead because the character mappings
aren't right.  If I use UTF8, it works fine, but I don't like some of the
non-ASCII characters (like smart quotes) in build logs, so I stick to non-UTF8
locales.
