Not saying that isn't true, but saving them in a file to look at
afterwards achieves that without causing my post portmaster command to
not execute. Even displaying them at the end of the build without 'less'
would be great.

for me, it's mimedefang. every time a p5 port changes I need to rebuild
and restart mimedefang (or it keeps failing with some linkage issue).

in portupgrade I would do

portupgrade p5-\* && /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mimedefang restart

which allowed me to work on other things and not have to babysit this.

so I'm playing with portmaster, it seems pretty decent, but missing this
capability. I have to agree with the original request... nice to have...
