As I understand it, setting BATCH=YES in /etc/make.conf will accept all 
of the interactive defaults for all ports.  Or you can set options for 
ports individually in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf if you use 
portupgrade.  I suspect there's some way to do it individually without 
portupgrade as well.

Cheers,
