Idea: The dialog utility is used to create a menu driven
configuration dialog for ports where options for the
compilation process can be selected. Maybe such dialogs
are started during the updating process controlled by
portmanager? Check if some kind of "batch job" can 
explicitely be ordered for the portmanager update run.
