Based on feedback I received from Remko, I have updated the diff to fix the=
indentation after <para>. I hope it is correct now. :-)

+ <para>When building certain ports, you may be presented with a
+ ncurses-based menu from which you can select certain build
+ options. It is not uncommon for users to wish to revisit
+ this menu to add, remove, or change these options after a
+ port has been built. There are many ways to do this. One
+ option is to go into the directory containing the port and
+ type <command>make config</command>, which will simply
+ present the menu again with the same options selected.
+ Another option is to use the command <command>make
+ showconfig</command> which will show you all the
+ configuration options for the port. Yet another option is
+ to type <command>make rmconfig</command> which will remove
+ all selected options and allow you to start over. All of
+ these options, and others, are explained in great detail in
+ in the man page for &man.ports.7;.</para>
