I use aliases:

alias portadd="sudo portmaster"
alias portrm="sudo portmaster -e"
alias portls="portmaster -L"
alias portupg="sudo portmaster -aDG"

Speaking of such things (particularly the usage of -l/-L, which
shouldn't need root privileges), did you get my PR and patch to allow
for five-digit UIDs?

HTH,
Jim
