1) You can't build a dependent port and first set the config for the

As the ports man page states:
# make config-recursive
does what you want. It's surprising how often people claim this
feature is
missing, even though it has been there ever since I started using
FreeBSD.
And it's surprising how often people don't listen when I explain that
config-recursive is not a complete solution. :) It builds the list
first, so that if you enable an option that creates a dependency on
another port it will be missed. Portmaster does not have that
limitation because it runs 'make config' before doing the dependency
check for each port.

As a workaround, you can run 'make config-recursive' multiple times
until it will no longer pull up config dialogs. This will catch those
extra dependencies created by checking options during the process.
