Hi Doug, This should work, but please test it to make sure: HOLD_PKGS = [ 'bsdpan-*', 'php5*', ] /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf is installed as part of the portupgrade port (ports-mgmt/portupgrade or ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel). portmaster has a "-x" option where you can specify a glob, like so: portmaster -x 'php5*' -x 'foobar*' ... I have not tested that either, so experimentat on some throwaway port first. For portmanager, it reads pkgtools.conf for setting port build options, but it looks to me like the pkgtools-to-portmanager.rb script converts the contents of HOLD_PKGS to a form that portmanager understands.
