I'm with kn on this, updating a port isn't all that rare and this is really unwieldy on some ports (there isn't really much you can do when it spits out 300+ lines of hashes, and it's quite a slow operation on some ports on some machines). Maybe it could be controlled by a variable? Then it can be set one-off on the command line if wanted, or in mk.conf if you always want to use it.
