Portmaster (ports-mgmt/portmaster) will help you do that.

You may also want to try make BATCH=yes install clean

Sent: Mar 7, 2010 2:08 PM

When installing gnome from the ports
# make install clean
installs a few hundred packages and displays dozens and dozens times a
configuration window
which I always answer by hitting TAB key to move to OK button and then
enter.
Now this installation is already busy for 7 hours (when will it end?) ...
keeping me locked to my PC ...
How to specify   make install clean ..   witj extra options so that is
will answer a configuration window autoamtically
to always accept all the defaults so that you can make an Gnome installation
in an unattended way?

I do all the configs ahead of time.  There are multiple ways to do that.

make config-recursive if you're just using the raw Makefiles.

portinstall -c PORTNAME if you're using Portinstall (my favorite).
