Nice. That's pretty much what I asked for, radio/combo box behaviour, I knew 
it was in dialog but not in ports. However, I also have two other options 
that are of the A or B flavor. The way it's done now, these don't really mix, 
right?

Perhaps some more dialog lingo could go in port OPTIONS, especially since it's 
increasingly becoming (rightfully so) the de facto way to present 
build/install choices. I'm not very familiar with dialog but I'm afraid that 
the functionality I would like to see would unavoidably require submenus 
(translated to suboptions) much like sysinstall does. Are more people 
interested in having some more dialog-foo incorperated into port OPTIONS?

(I'm willing to chip in or at least test)

Thanks,
