Portfast simply allows the port to begin forwarding immedtiatly as opposed
to going through the blocking, litening, learning, forwarding states that a
spanning tree port goes through. It can safely be disabled if you do not
have redundant paths.

Subject: portfast and router
I have one port on a Catalyst 6500 connected to a router with fast ethernet.
I also have spantree enable on the switches. Currently I have the spantree
portfast feature disabled on that port on the Catalyst 6500 that connects to
the router. Should that be enable or disable and why?
