Interactive ports

[John Merryweather Cooper]

It appears you're trying to compile an interactive port (one that has a
menu that a user must interact with) but you are trying to force it into
BATCH mode with a setting in your /etc/make.conf.  BATCH mode causes
these ports to be skipped since they can't be built in BATCH mode.
