If someone can come up with a programmatic way of determining if such

support, but given the wide variety of syntax that is supported I think
such a thing would be difficult.
There's a NO_PACKAGE variable used to prevent the build cluster from
generating packages, or at least, from uploading packages to the FTP
servers. You could (ab)use this to mark packages you always want to
install from source -- so, choosing apache22 as an example, you could
put something like this in /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/apache22}
NO_PACKAGE= yes
.endif
or you could put NO_PACKAGE=yes into
/usr/ports/www/apache22/Makefile.local or use portconf or various other
ways.
portmaster would then have to run something on the lines of:
cd ${PORTSDIR}/www/apache22 ; make -V NO_PACKAGE
to detect the setting.
I wouldn't want to use the same knob, but I think testing for
PT_NO_INSTALL_PACKAGE=true would be quite acceptable, and has the
benefit of also working without portconf. I suggest PT_ for "Ports Tool"
in case any of the other tool authors want to use the same convention.
The downside of this is that every make variable I test for adds
anywhere from 0.2 to 0.5 seconds per port that I have to test (which
relative to the other things that portmaster does per-port is an
eternity). However given that this would only apply when the port needs
updating, and only if one of the packages options is in use, I think the
cost is acceptable.
Marco, does this sound like it would meet your needs?
Matthew, another great idea, as always. :)
