I'd say it's actually very simple, and that could sometimes be convenient. For example, pkgtools.conf offers the HOLD_PKGS array and possibility to manually put +IGNOREME in the package directory. In this case, it would be sufficient to add something like +NEVERDEINSTALL to the directory or NEVER_DEINSTALL array to the pkgtools.conf, while portinstall could (optionally) mark with +NEVERDEINSTALL file all ports that are manually (= as an argument) passed to it. Those pakages would behave normally (they would be normally upgraded, etc.), they would just always be (silently) included in -x list of pkg_deinstall. I don't think it has much to do with the execution speed. Of course, if something like that doesn't already exist.
