If you mean by before touch any port, then I think -n (check in manpage)  
might be what you want. Unless you mean by during or/and when the  
portmaster is done, then use pkg_version to check it.

I do not use OPTIONS (config) and my /var/db/ports/* is empty as I always  
have BATCH=yes in my make.conf, so it is very easy for me to use this  
option and works fine in the more than three times of test.
