The easists way is to just pass the --batch switch to portupgrade, if that is the program you use for doing everything.
Set the BATCH environment variable if you just want everything that understands it, to obey. The handbook and wikipedia give good overviews of environment variables. Reading the documentation for ports, also explains $BATCH, which basically means, don't ask me questions !!! The handbooks page noted above also gives examples of setting the environment variable in both Bourne and C style shells --- check your shells manual page for details.

You can also use portupgrade's -c flag to run all the blue screens BEFORE the rest of the compiles, or use ports-mgmt/portmaster which imho is way better than portupgrade and assumes you want to run the configs before the compiles, so you don't come back hours later to a stopped compile.
