Pkg feature req. already exits some other way?

I am accustomed to portmaster batching a large number of ports at the end of a pipe.   

...  ... egrep -v 'someIGNport|someBKNport|someBIGport'    | xargs -J % pkg install % 
                      

Instead of a queue formed, 

This will update 
   port
   port
   port
And the ports 
   not-found
   not-found
  will be left for next time. Proceed? 

One of the latter(not found), inexplicably halts the pkg 
command.   This takes a magnitude of time away from other tasks I usually
schedule in the meanwhile.  

Or someone is maybe coding it into portmaster soon... or portupgrade, or has tested
portupgrade in a manner that does work in that context.
