Hmm. Not all ports use a config screen. Openoffice is one example, and I always make it -DWITHOUT_MOZILLA.

Ideal would be to use the line "make -DWITH_OPTION" without the GUI appearing.
Strictly that's the ncurses screen, but I know what you mean. I don't know of a way to get around that. Maybe there is, but I don't know it.

I don't view it as much of a limitation, personally. Most ports these days use all the cores you have, so there really is no point in running them in parallel. You also can get into trouble doing that anyway.

It also is usually a good idea to see that one port has installed properly before moving on to the next. Otherwise you really should script the session to figure out what happened, and those files then get huge and cumbersome.
