I'd like a dialog, if there is to be a dialog rather than setting options in 
/etc/make.conf, that would not mess up when the user keeps a log of a build 
using tee or script.

One possibility would be to do the dialog in a virtual terminal separate from 
the ports build.

Configuration dialog has to work from nongraphical interface, since FreeBSD 
base system, where a user would start, has no graphical interface.

I like the idea of putting port options in a file, as NetBSD pkgsrc does using 
/etc/mk.conf, or possibly /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf when on a non-NetBSD platform.
