portmaster -- no execute command

[Jerry]

Does portmaster have a --noexecute flag like portupgrade?
Specifically, I want to run the following command and see exactly what
would be updated / modified sans actually doing it.

portmaster -o new_app old_app

Is the -n option what you are looking for?

From man portmaster:

-n  run through all steps, but do not make or install any ports

This common flag seems to be allowed for installation via -o,
according to the synopsis:

portmaster [Common Flags] -o new port dir in /usr/ports
installed port
