It works with some minor problem...


----------------------------------------------------
# portmaster --force-config emulators/virtualbox-ose

===>>> Currently installed version: virtualbox-ose-4.1.16
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose

         ===>>> This port is marked BROKEN
         ===>>> QT4 frontend requires X11 support. Run 'make config' again!
----------------------------------------------------

Then it waits for a second or two and then displays the dialog.

I unchecked the QT4, confirmed with OK button and then options dialog 
re-appeared again with my previously confirmed options.
So I confirmed the dialog again and then installation continues in 
normal way.

Am I right, that --force-config will show options dialog even in cases 
where I already have stored options for given port?
