In the man page of portsdb(1), I wrote as follows:

      -U
      --updateindex  Update or create the INDEX file by running ``make index''.
                     If you define special macros in /etc/make.conf and
                     the dependency of some ports are changed, you should create
                     INDEX by yourself by using this option. Otherwise, using
                     -F option is recommended since it is much faster.

I forgot to mention OPTIONS, so I will add in the next release.
I hope this sentence would satisfy you.
