I recommend setting 'SUDO=sudo -E' and "PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes" in /etc/mk.conf and configuring so that your user account can run things as _pbuild and _pfetch without prompting, and as root with a password, e.g. like this in sudoers your_user ALL=(_pbuild) NOPASSWD: ALL, (_pfetch) NOPASSWD: ALL your_user ALL=(ALL) SETENV: ALL then go to the dir for an individual port (e.g. cd /usr/ports/math/moo) and as an exception to the normal rule, run "make fix-permissions" as root.
