it sounds like there might be an erronous alias or wrapper-script that is
changing the options of portmaster, maybe even a global in /etc/rc.conf?
What does the following give you.

'alias | grep portmaster'

For me, I get the following;

[r...@ziggy [~]# alias | grep port
alias portmaster='portmaster -d --no-confirm'
[r...@ziggy [~]# grep port .bashrc
alias portmaster="portmaster -d --no-confirm"
[r...@ziggy [~]#

as you can see, these options are expected for me.

As option of '-f' is what it sounds like is being called in your case, to
force-reinstall everything named from the cmdln.
