EVERYONE should be using portmaster! (just kidding) :)

No, portmaster and portconf are totally different, and not tied 
together in any way. You can use one, the other, or both. portconf 
works directly with make/bsd.port.mk the same way that portmaster 
works directly with the ports, without any "extra" stuff needed.
